I also have a 2010 2.4GHz C2D that I have swapped the drive on multiple times, so I had a little prior knowledge of some disassembly.
I had already replaced the 500GB that came in this originally with a WD Black². I have also converted the Black² to a Fusion drive with the help of WD's software.
I installed a Samsung 250GB SSD in the upper drive location. I used Boot camp to install Windows 10 on the Samsung SSD. I'm actually on the Windows side right now.
While I had the mini apart I decided to compressed air can clean it out. There was a little bit of dust build up, but not anymore.
I did make the mistake of not pressing the fan connector back on all the way. I was reaching to the back of the mini to install a USB thumb drive when I noticed the casing was very warm. I flipped the case over, removed the cover and noticed the fan wasn't working. I shut the mini down and made sure the connector was seated properly. After restarting and the fan was working it's all good.
