    Why hello noob. Lol im being sarcastic.

    Sup man, well what you are wanting to do is a very simple yet complex task.
    First of all this is your best friend this ---> :D

    And second, you must find the manual for your computer wich im sure you will not have any problem because it's right HERE

    After reading the manual and taking notes on important passages, you will procede carefully but confidently.

    You will need a screw driver (philips) and some patience and that drive.


    PM for more help if needed.
