This is the approach I took for my aging Samsung laptop. It already had an i7 with 16G of RAM, and it was seeming slow to me. I replaced a 500G HD with a 1T SSD and it breathed new life into it. The laptop I really wanted would have been $1,300 and I spent $300 on the new SSD HD. It's hard to justify that much money for a new machine when replacing the "slow parts" on an otherwise good machine is much more cost effective.
I was pretty nervous taking apart my laptop as it was a "thin" form factor and to replace the HD you basically go through the top and through the keyboard. YouTube videos helped me out and it went off without a hitch.
How'd you get the operating system installed on the new SSD? USB drive of ISO image?
