For the love of God, is there anywhere I can find a step by step(very clear instructions) on how to replace my hard drive and reinstall windows 10 back in it. I see tutorials that show how to take the computer apart, putting a new hard drive in, then putting the laptop back together Nothing bout what to do with a repair disk, or save the computer image Or how to reinstall windows after you exchange hard the drives. I just want some clear and easy to understand instructions that include all aspects of the entire process replacing the hard drive and reinstalling windows. Thank you for your time
