Your computer likely would need a RAM upgrade to near maximum capacity supported

Can I Upgrade My Mac


Do not upgrade over a set of troubles and expect them to go away. You have to

prepare the computer for continued use over its lifetime, and an upgrade is more

refurbished MacBook/Pro 13-inch mid 2010 from reputable reseller online, or

These come equipped to run Mavericks and should also handle Yosemite.

You can have the Store add RAM to the MB/Pro, in the order page online, as
