Internal HDD change what to consider?

I need to change my intere hard drive on my laptop as it stops working. I have a HDD 1 TB hard drive. Can I replace these with an SDD hard drive (even with 2 TB) like this https://www.mediamarkt.de/...05724.html and what else do I have to pay attention to when buying or replacing hard drives?

Original hard drive: Samsung ST1000LM024

If it is not C: \, you can take it out without any problem

Is not C

You do not have to worry about anything, just replace it, then you can play Windows.

Then you can just take them out. Remember: These must of course be the same ports as the old hard drive and make sure that there are no important data / programs on it.

There are unfortunately important data on it. I see the hard drive but when I click on it, it says Windows Explorer is not working anymore.

But turn off before and disconnect from the mains and battery. Better safe than sorry.

Take the hard drive out and connect it to another laptop / PC and then make a backup of it, which you install on the new one. If that does not work, she's gone

Matching cables should be available, but if it is a change then they are anyway available.

Otherwise, you do not have to pay attention to anything, of course the PC should be off and you should not just go for it like a grizzly on crack, but hopefully that goes without saying.

My laptop is always disconnected from the battery.
