Hello, I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 13 with a new SSD running El Capitan. I want to physically move that SSD to a 2011 MacBook Pro 15 running High Sierra, replacing the HDD with the new SSD. How do I do that? Can I do that?
MacBook Pro
Correct.
Just make sure you have a good verified working backup first just in case something goes wrong. You should always have a good backup since it is impossible to recover accidentally deleted data from an SSD. Plus SSDs can fail at any time without any warning signs.

Yes you can move the SSD from the 2009 laptop to the 2011 laptop. Just move it over. Since it has macOS 10.11 installed it should be just be able to boot the 2011 laptop.
THANK YOU. And then once I physically move over the SSD, the 2011 laptop presumably will then let me upgrade to High Sierra, which was not possible in a 2009 laptop? Correct?
Replace 2011 MacBook Pro 15 HDD running High Sierra with SSD from 2009 MacBook Pro 13 running El Capitan? How? Can I?
