For some reason I cannot get the Apple Hardware Test to run on my computer, which is why I went online and tried to find out what the problem might be.

I came to the conclusion that my computer needs an EFI Firmware Update in order to fix that: "This update enables Lion Recovery from an Internet connection on MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) models.".

I downloaded that update and also the latest SMC version that addresses some battery issues, but for some reason neither of them is installing and they just give me an error saying "This software is not supported on your system.".

I am no longer running Lion, of course, but I am running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10 if I am not mistaken), could that be it?

I do not know where the DVDs that came with my laptop are, and I believe that I will not have to actually search the whole house for them since there must be other options for this!

Thank you guys!
