Use Acronis for cloning. Not sure about that specific model of Acer. Check it on the web. But generally it does work.

(STEP 1) If your current drive is working, either make a recovery USB drive (Windows) or have your bootable installation media USB (Linux) set up and ready to reinstall your OS after you have installed the SSD.

(STEP 2 + ANSWER TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION) The 500GB PNY SSD has been working well in my Acer 5755 for about 6 months now. It's a 2.75 inch wide. A quick internet lookup on your Acer 5733 shows that it came with a 2.5 inch SATA drive, so this drive should fit and work well.

(STEP 3) Install the OS from your prepared USB media and/or backup copy.

(STEP 4 + ANSWER TO YOUR SECOND QUESTION) To transfer old files from your removed, working HDD (Hard Disk Drive) just use a SATA USB drive enclosure. (See the picture of my SATA enclosure with covers off and a HDD clipped into it.) If you go to Best Buy dot com and put "2.5 inch SATA drive enclosure" into the search bar, hit enter, you'll see a bunch of empty drive enclosures with a USB cable to attach between it and your computer's USB port.

Have fun swapping out the drives!

L0RD bless ya!
