They say "difficult" because the LCD is larger and more unwieldy, but that's someone's subjective opinion of it. Once you have the LCD removed, which is the hardest part of the job..you're home free. | |

| Aug 13, 2020 at 5:43 | comment | added | Allan | It’s not as hard as they make it out to be: see ifixit.com/Guide/…. They say “moderate”, but that s due to the LCD. if you take care with that component and go slow, , everything else is easy. I did 2012 iMac and that used glue on the display. upgraded the drive and it ran faster and cooler | |

| Aug 13, 2020 at 4:17 | comment | added | Allan | Why don’t you wan’t to change the drive? For $50ish you can get a 256GB SSD. That vintage iMac had the glass that was held on by magnets and the LCD with torx screws - it’s super easy to open and change the drive. For a rather small investment, you can make it perform better than new. | |
