Not a problem. Easy access door is available just bolt the SSD into the caddy the same as the hard drive. The SSD is thinner but the SATA connectors will still connect correctly and screwholes are in the same place. Post back if you need help reinstalling or cloning. Windows 10 is a free download now and you need no Keycode to reactivate.

my hard disk is this  toshiba mq01abd075  but im not sure if is a 750gb and 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm because if i go to  localdisk c and e the sum isn't 750gb

That is 696 gigs of space computed in binary. Hard drive makers list the capacity in decimal. 

This explains it:

It is in fact a "750 gig" hard drive.

I think I already answered. The SSD is the same length and width. Screwholes for mounting are in the same place. Its a bolt in replacement for a hard drive. As for Windows 10 its a free download from the Microsoft Media Creation Tool site and will reinstall and reactivate without the need for a Key Code. We can get as detailed as you need but that's the general idea.
