Easier answer is to simply drill holes for the ground prong to fit into on the existing receptacles. 9 out of 10 morticians approve!

there is a 3rd option, but it's a little shady

Sometimes the wiring will have a ground but 2 prong receptacles were installed because that's what was still common back then. It's important to determine what type of wiring is in your home first

My two prong receptacles in a 1960s addition to my house actually had grounded wire going to them for some reason. Not sure why they didn’t just use grounded outlets.

Or you can add receptacles with the ground. And don’t put a damn GFI on something that’s not grounded.

ungrounded power outlets will negatively impact many electronics. putting a gfci outlet won't fix this. for example it can cause intermittent sevice on Internet routers.

You should only have one GFCI on a circuit, correct?

There was a period of time where the wiring had a ground, but grounded outlets weren't really a thing and the grounds were wired to the electrical boxes. In that case you can add a pigtail from the box to the outlet ground.

Just leave a open ground

I prefer just to change the breaker out to a GFCI breaker. Also if you go with a GFCI outlet, you only need to use a GFCI for the first outlet in the circuit. Then wire the rest to the load side of that outlet. Also along with The GFCI protected sticker, you have to put the “no ground” sticker.

Nicky C Electric :
You definitely do not have to rewire the whole house in some cases. This depends on the type of wire going to your boxes. Nob and Tube or old romex with no ground. A lot of old houses are wired in BX and the casing of the wire is the ground but they still installed 2 prong outlets back then. I made a video on this please watch it.

Electricians did this in our 120 year old home for the second floor & other areas that couldn't be accessed w/o opening the walls.

Aiden :
There was a period where a separate ground was run to the box, but 2 prong outlets were installed. In that situation you can install 3 prong outlets and connect them to that ground without rewiring everything.
