You dont have to take apart the computer. You do have to open it up to gain access to the MOBO.

Is the laptop HDD a SSD?

Laptop HDD will work but you will get less performance. They generally take less power and give less performance.

Go with a SSD or a regular HDD

It is easy to add the video card later. Don't use a laptop hard drive as it will be slower than a desktop drive. I mean it will work just don't do it LOL.

You CAN use it. It will hinder the rest of the PC.

Spend $70ish on a HDD

or $200ish on a good SSD.
