Good job Carolyn! I think the new SSD will be fine. When your friend comes over to put it in your case, this is what he will find. On the back there are two screws holding the side panel on. After these are removed, he will be able to slide the panel off. Then with the panel off, he will be able to see your hard-drive located at the bottom-right of the picture. This photo shows two drives, but you only have one. What he should do is remove the cables from the hard-drive and connect them to the SSD. The cables alone should keep the SSD from moving much. Also leave the disconnected hard-drive in the computer for if you ever need it for an emergency. The data cable here is blue and the power cable is 4-strands and is yellow, black & red. After connecting the cables to the SSD try starting the computer while the side is off. In the unlikely event, the computer doesn't see the new SSD, power down the computer and pull the cables out a bit and push them back in to make sure they are securely attached. All work inside the computer and removing & putting the side panel back on should be done with the wall AC power disconnected. Josh * * *
