It extremely easy because all you do is open a small lid on the systems left side (its impossible to not see it) and inside of that you need to screw a simple screw that holds the hdd tray. Then you just take it out and unscrew 4 screws that are on the side, and the drive should be removed. Then you mount the new drive on the tray and reverse the process bye screwing it back. I did my in 20 min because its better to use more time than to make a large mistake and later regret.
But here's a video that can help you, enjoy.
