Modern laptops provide not only connecting external hard drives to them, but also replacing the storage devices already mounted in them. To install a hard drive in a laptop, it is not at all necessary to be an expert in the computer industry, you just need to have basic knowledge.

Step 1
First, let's talk about what a modern laptop hard drive is and how to get to it. An inexperienced user will probably think that to replace the hard drive he will have to unscrew the covers and make other ridiculous "gestures". No. In our case, everything is more simple. A laptop hard drive is a compact plate that can be not only individual (suitable for a particular laptop model), but also universal (suitable for several models at once). What do you need to do to install a hard drive in a laptop? You need to do the following.
Step 2
Turn the computer over and find the cover on it that will hide the hard drive. This cover is usually fastened with latches, and it is extremely difficult to confuse it with anything else (however, it should not be confused with a battery, and it happens). Remove this cover. After that, the hard drive installed on the laptop will open for you. You can understand that this is a hard drive in two ways: by the characteristic stickers on the device, and also simply by comparing the installed device with the one you plan to replace it with. If both devices are identical, you can proceed to replacing the hard drive.
Step 3
After freeing the old hard drive from all fasteners securing it, pull the device out of the case. Install a new hard drive in its place and attach all the fasteners to their places. Close the lid, then turn on the laptop. At this stage, you will need to install a new system and format the disk (all this is done in the BIOS).
