Yes. The SSD will replace your 3.5 inch Physical HD with this Solid State drive. Both have the same mounting screws and SATA connections. You will need to back-up your existing drive data to the new SSD using a back-up program such as Acronis (which is what I use) then physically exchange the drives. You will notice an extremely fast boot-up and overall performance boost because SSD's do not require a seek time like the standard Hard Disk Drive's do. My previous boot time to a login screen on my laptop was between 45 seconds to 1 minute. With the new SSD it's about 10 seconds to a login screen. Backing up your original drive via a USB to SATA drive adapter cord may take 8 hours or more for 1 TB drive's. But the wait is worth the new performance speed. Great, for when you are on a phone call and laptop was turned off, to get back in business quick. (Some expensive production programs may require re-authorization to use seeing the SSD as new hardware, but I've never had a problem as long as I had a license to use them.) Current OS is Windows 10 Build 1903.
