Speaking personally? It depends on where you are in the world, but I would first call 1-800-my apple. I would speak to support, share our apple id so they can know more details and ask for my options. Then perhaps report that here. There are often loads of ways to upgrade a mac, or that used t

we have an actual Apple store here in Fort Worth, Tx. I don’t think you can just call and talk to somebody though. within the next few months it appears I might have the opportunity to get a new Mac mini. if that chance comes up I’m not going to waste it that’s for sure. > On Feb 18, 2023, at 8

If you call my-apple, part of what they can do is set up a genus session with your local apple store. Of course you can talk to them apple has a major customer service hub in Austin Texas. Still, if you anticipate a new machine soon, perhaps waiting makes more sense in general. Unless the me

Where it can get tricky is that not all Apple Stores are able to handle Macs. The new machine would definitely be your best bet. If you do end up upgrading your machine, you will probably have to buy the Ram from Crucial and then someone can install it for you. Bestbuy is also an option. > On F
