      Problem Solved!

      Posted by Carl on 11th Nov 2019

      Really pleased with this. A friend gifted me an old Mac Book Air Late 2010 he was having problems with and so had replaced it. As it came to me it had a 60gig drive. Why Apple ever thought this would be a useable amount of storage is quite beyond me but this replacement was installed within a couple of minutes (provided you have the right screwdrivers of course) and I had booted to internet recovery, reinstalled the OS over the net and was up and running within an hour. I now have a fully useable and very well kept Mac Book Air that despite its age does everything I need and still runs the software I use.
