• Yes, it won't be a problem. I've just finished installing mine and it's doing a restore from the restore thumb drive I created.

• While I have not replaced my HD, I have read articles that make it seam simple just remove screws and open. There is also a M.2 drive that is used as a cache from the factory but can also be replaced and turned into a system drive.

• Yes, the hard drive can be swapped out with an SSD. I made plans to do it initially but found the 5400 rpm hard drive sufficient for my needs and decided not to swap the drive out.

• The hard drive is replaceable as well as the RAM module. It takes a lot of torque screw manipulation and you have to remove of some of the foot pads, but it appears relatively simple. I was going to do this but the performance of the HDD with the SSD cache is pretty darn good. And it's also great to have 1TB storage.
