Hey guys,

Purchased one of these today,as far as im aware the ram is soldered to the board so cannot be upgraded so il be stuck with a maximum 4gb of Ram,Which is fine i think its only for web browsing,YouTube and listening to music,But i have a couple of questions as im completely new to the Mac and OSX scene.

1)Im planning to swap out the slow 5400RPM drive to a 250GB SSD,How do i go about restoring OSX on the newly installed SSD?

2)Is there a certain version of OSX i can only go up to on this model of Mac or can i go the latest version?

3)This Mac mini i see has a Wireless PCI-e mini card installed,can you remove this Pci-e wireless card and use the Pci-e slot for a Pci-e SSD?

Thank you,very much appreciated.

Should just be able to use internet recovery to reinstall the OS, Just press CMD & R on boot and then follow instructions to reinstall

Supports the latest version and will supports 10.14 on release.
