will i be afraid of upgrading my mid-2012 macbook pro OS to high sierra?
i already upgraded my hardware from 4gig memory to 8 gig memory, and from 500gig hdd spinner drive to 500 gig sdd drive.
will my macbook runs the high sierra smoothly with such hardware upgrade? or will i stay foot on el capitan?
MacBook Pro, iOS 10
I add my vote of confidence. I have a mid-2012 13-inch non-Retina MBP with the entry-level 2.5 ghz i5 processor and 8GB RAM. I upgraded to High Sierra 10.13 while the computer still had its slow 500GB rotational drive. The computer ran exactly the same speed as it did with Sierra 10.12. Then I upgraded to a 500GB SATA 6Gbps SSD and this little computer runs like something new. Everything happens fast now.

I just got an SSD and I'm a believer now. I remember someone posting here stating that an SSD may mask problems, I suppose by blowing right past the problems with brute force. At this point I'm all for brute force.
Hi,
I'm using High Sierra on MacBook Pro late 2011 with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD which is working smoothly.
Thank you so much for your convincing testimony. I’m on the verge of upgrading to high sierra. I am pretty much excited to see the result. Thank to you all guys!
