New Life for Old MacBook Air

The 7-year-old MacBook Air was almost out of space on its original 128GB SSD. We didn't need the extra power as it's primarily used for email, web browsing and solitaire, eliminating the need for a newer laptop. Found this 250 gigabit SSD and thought it would help as it took 7 years to max out the original 128. Installation is easy, but no tools are provided. Luckily I had tools from a recent battery change, these are very small torx screws on the case. The only problem is that every hard drive replacement doesn't restore the Windows Office license code from a backup, so you'll either have to re-register (assuming you still have it after 7 years), or buy a newer license. Okay, the Office 3013 I had wasn't supported anyway, so it's time for an upgrade.
