You're considering upgrading your 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD while keeping it clean. You're leaning toward either Maverick or Yosemite, aiming for speed and longer battery life. Let me know if you'd like more details on each option! Thanks.

They've both been running for a while now, but it doesn't seem to matter much. You might want to consider adding more RAM. What's the issue with Sierra?

I use the same MacBook with Sierra, and it has an SSD plus 16GB RAM. It runs smoothly and quickly.

In fact, it seems like everyone is handling those specifications at a similar pace.

I encountered some problems with my 2010 MacBook using Sierra, but it works smoothly on standard HD with 4GB RAM. My Hackintosh handles Sierra effortlessly, and I really appreciate the performance. Based on these specs, I’d recommend sticking with Yosemite, though others agree it should be fine too.

Create a clone of your mechanical hard drive and swap it for an SSD. Refer to the Apple documentation for guidance: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741
