Is it possible to upgrade the logic board of my MBA 13 2014?
I got a MacBook 13 2014 which is working well as I changed the battery out. Since it is in the A1466 model, is it possible to upgrade it by swapping the dual-core 2014 logic board to a 2017 logic board? Will there be no hardware or software compatibility issues?- toby25panaga
