Video Description
In this video I will do an upgrade of my internal storage in the M4 Mac Mini. This will NOT work in the M4 Mac Mini Pro models! I will take you through all the steps so you will be more comfortable in doing it yourself. We will disassemble and reassemble the M4 Mac Mini. I will then guide you through the the DFU system restore process. There are comments of people saying the DFU process is not working on Windows and Intel macs so to be safe please use an Apple Silicon Mac. Reach out to family or friends to borrow theirs or do a temporary purchase to do it. The kit purchased by you will have tools in it. I had to use my own because it was not provided to me due to it being a review unit. Please remember that this ssd has a 1 year warranty provided by the company. Please DO NOT remove the sticker on the ssd because that will void your warranty. Storage upgrades for the M4 Mac Mini Pro models will be released in the next few months. Please Be Advised: This will terminate all data on your M4 Mac Mini So you should backup all data via Time Machine before doing this install and you can then restore your data via Time Machine during MacOs set up process.
