Hard drive replacement is early in this video at about :30 in.
Replacement hard drive:
USB to SATA adapter:
No need for a lot of instructions. Connect the old drive to this adapter once you get the new hard drive installed and Windows and drivers loaded and you can browse the old drive like any external hard drive and copy and paste your data from it onto the new drive so you can keep using it.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Where do you live (country)? Do you not have a backup? Odds are good data can be recovered off the old drive with a SATA to USB adapter once you get the computer back up and running. You can make the old drive an external drive, connect it by a USB port and scavenge some or all of your old files from it. Apps are more of a problem.
