Yes change the HDD for a SSD will be a good idea as a SSD will lower the power usage and make the laptop snappier (read faster) though you will need a program that can make a clone of your HDD to your SSD then.

Not sure your laptop is geared for the extra power use the i7 uses neither your PSU for the laptop. And think allso - it will be cheaper to but new than get a old used laptop to switch the cpu - and you can´t buy mobile cpu´s as you can with desktop cpu´s.
