Hi,

Yes you can insert a larger drive without any problems. 2.5" Sata drive.

 

On page 41 of service manual you can see the various steps to instyall the new drive:

You will need to reinstall the OS with either recovery disks or Windows bootable media.

 

It will not affect the speed of the PC.

 

Hope it helps,

David
