hey everyone welcome to greenlight so today we're putting uh an ssd into an imac to turn
it into a faster video editing system as well as simultaneously using uh 3d softwares and if you're
interested in finding out whether mac or pc is better for you go ahead in the description down
below you're going to find a video from my cousin here on youtube who's done a video just for you
about that so go ahead and check out his channel go ahead and subscribe to his channel as well
he does a lot of tech stuff quickly here you're going to see uh an unboxing real quick of my
samsung ssd it's a one terabyte ssd and um it powers my computer makes it go a lot faster
so i can have a faster workflow when it comes to davinci resolve and my 3d software with blender
and not necessarily using them simultaneously i would actually use them one at a time but
this actually helps me work a lot quicker and be able to use my imac to the best of its ability
do
so the first thing you want to do is connect your ssd to your imac and make sure that you go into
disk utilities and make sure that it's running on 3.0 speeds and this is where you can rename
your ssd whatever you like i renamed it to the mac os catalina mac os so that i don't get
confused or anything like that with the ssd when i look into getting an ssd again in the future
and now you want to install your new mac os to do so you have to shut down
the computer and as soon as you shut down your computer you hold command option r
now follow instructions make sure you click on the orange drive
for your new mac os to be installed onto your ssd as soon as the chime hits make sure
you press on the option button so that you make sure because it up it pops up
to make sure for sure that your imac is installing the new mac os onto your new orange ssd drive
and for your final step make sure you follow all of mac os's normal install
once you do all these things everything should be going on as normal and you
should have catalina working great on your screen currently right now and as a quick
tip um make sure you shut down uh your computer manually when you're installing
software and stuff like that so when you're installing software and it asks you to restart
your computer it will restart let it go through the whole thing but it'll restart
back into your old os and you don't want that so i highly recommend once you see that screen
do not log in do not put in your password anything like that and manually shut down your computer
with the button behind your imac make sure you're manually pressing that and shut it down completely
restart the computer and you will be back up with catalina with no problems and
you'll have your software there waiting for you and if you like videos like this filmmaking videos
