It worked! Can't believe it. I exchanged my 128GB one with a Crucial 500 GB one. Used the Acronis True Image that came with the new SSD. Still getting used to having so much free space :D
Thanks for this tutorial. I typically avoid working on my laptops and gadgets due to overwhelming hidden gotchas. This made swapping out my broken hard drive quick and painless. Thanks again!
