While hard disk replacement in a late 2009 model iMac is moderately difficult, memory upgrades are easy.
I recommended more memory in case the customer was interested in eventually upgrading to Sierra.
Every upgrade of a Mac operating system requires more RAM. The last iMac I serviced was a late 2009 model, whose 1 TB Seagate hard disk had failed. I installed a 6 TB Western Digital replacement. I have customers with Macs running OS X El Capitan and not macOS Sierra. But, while it still does everything it always has, Windows 10 pretty much can’t be beat for an all-around operating system that’ll handle anything you throw at it. When I’m blogging, I still like the familiarity of the old Power Mac G4 running Mac OS X Leopard that sleeps until I wake it. Windows 10 is the OS that drives all my main production machines. It pretty much looked not ready for primetime and so I took out a cease and desist order regarding any further investigation. I tried to boot from the PC I had hooked it up to at the time with limited success the Mate desktop came up but with only 1025 x 768 resolution. When I removed the hard drives inside the eMachines PC I placed the larger one in a spare Rosewill external USB enclosure I had lying around. Fast forward several months and with some precious free time on my hands, I was finally able to make good on the promise.
