"Will I, a moron, be able to install a SSD drive in my Macbook Pro?"


          


I have a 13" Macbook Pro from 2013 and a photographer friend of mine suggested I install a SSD drive on it. It works great and I mostly use it for making music on, so this is *a* link on how:

https://www.instructables.com/Installing-SSD-Solid-State-Drive-in-your-MacBook/

Is this heavy duty? I have no idea, I am - as the post title suggests - an idiot and I have no patience for stuff like this. But, I also want my Mac to run a little more smoothly when working in Pro Tools and I'd love to buy a SSD drive for $100 vs buying a new computer for $3000
