Repair MacBook Pro 2013 with broken SSD
So I have the opportunity to buy a MacBook Pro Early 2013 from a friend, for 200$.
the Mac has a broken SSD, according to a tech support he took it some years ago (the Mac only was used two years, and he only used for university’s work). I saw that I can change the SSD easily, and I was thinking about buying the Samsung EVO 970, with a Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME adaptor, and then I would simply install a new software downloading by internet connection. Now my question is, should it would be enough, or the Mac can request something like the EFI? If so how can I unlock it? Could appears other inconvenient?
