Not very hard at all! Most newer laptops have an access panel on the bottom of the case that can be easily removed with a screwdriver, often these access panels only have one retaining screw. Once the panel has been removed, its a simple matter of uscrewing (or snapping) and unplugging the old drive and replacing it with the new drive. Make sure you check with your laptop's manufacturer to ensure that you buy the correct drive. Also, make sure that any software you may need, such as your operating system, is on hand before removing and existing hardware from your laptop!
