Replacing a drive in a laptop

A drive is the main storage for the laptop. It contains files for that laptop. Usually a laptop has only one main drive. Laptop hard drives can be of two types, they can be in a form of spinnable media, or they can be in a form of SSD. SSD stands for Solid State Disk, and it has no moving parts. SSD drive takes less space, than spinnable drive. SSD drives can be also replaced, however it may be a challenge to locate one in a laptop. Please be aware that the new disk will not contain OS, if this is the only drive in your system, then you may get a message that "No bootable media is found" after the drive is replaced.

Fresh installation of the operating system may need to be done, or an image of the old drive may need to be saved and restored to the new media, before that drive will become bootable.
