Good Afternoon,
This is my first time on this forum so please take it easy on me.
I would like to change a 2 prog recepticle to a 3 prong (the house was built in the 50's with multiple upgrades). It is the only 2 prog on the circuit along with 2 other 3 progs. The recepticle box is metal and has 6 wires coming into it. 2 black, 2 white and 2 copper ground wires. I did a ground test and it is grounded. Is it as easy as just repaceing the outlet (I know you can only have one wire under a screw (for) the ground) but I can wire nut those together than tie it to the box.

Any help would be greatly appriciated....

Thank You

 

Here is an illustrated article from Reader's Digest "The Family Handyman" magazine on wiring outlets that may help you:
