I don't trust myself to change a hard drive, I am a fan of technology, but she is not a fan of me. I've never tried it, and I could probably manage it, with enough instructions and tries. :D

When I wrote this desktops were more common.  It's a relatively simple operation.  If you can plug in an appliance and operate a screwdriver then you were pretty well qualified for it.

Then hard drives went SATA and that made it easier, but now most are packed into laptops, which then makes it a bit more challenging.

All in all, it's still not that difficult a thing to do, but it's something I have pretty well given up trying to do.
