Thank you for joining HP Forums. 
I'll be glad to help you 🙂

As I understand you want to upgrade the HDD and replace it with an SSD,
I had to take some time off and research for you, here are the results:

According to your User guide: 
Hard drives Supports 6.35-cm (2.5-in) hard drives (HD) and solid-state drives (SSD), 12.5-mm (.49-in) and 9.5- mm (.37-in) thicknesses

If you are good with hardware replacements, the answer is Yes you can do it on your own (if not, have a local tech replace it for you)

There aren't any disadvantages as such, considering you'd have more transfer speed and no moving parts inside the SSD ensuring less chances of failed parts, for any other details you can always google for the pros and cons list.
