Hi I have a question about installing an SSD in a mid-2012 Non-Retina MacBook Pro.
I have a full backup of the MacBook Pro, and my plan was to take out the 5400 RPM HDD, install the SSD, then connect my external drive with the Time Machine backup, boot the system and restore from Time Machine.
But I just want to verify that I won't be skipping a step.
How would I go about formatting the SSD once it's installed? When I boot into Recovery Mode, can I go into Disk Utility and format it prior to restoring to Time Machine? As I understand it, I'd go into Disk Utility, format the drive, and then close disk utility. Could I then restore from Time Machine?
Thanks.
