How to install a new hard drive and create recovery disks before installing the new drive?

HP Pavilion Dv5 - 2077 cl/entertainment laptop
Product #: WQ799UA #ABA
Windows 7 64 bit

Hello-

So for a while now, I get a blue screen randomly, popping up all the time and some time, who is going to "clear my physical memory" or something and then restart after like 30 seconds. I posted in the forums, once it all started and support told me to run tests and finally told me that my hard drive has been the reason for these constant errors. Then I backed up everything, in anticipation of a real accident.

I'm about to order a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is difficult to replace a hard drive in a laptop, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. In addition, I don't think I have the disk for the operating system that came with my computer, how do I order that HP and how much is it?

And, last but not least, is there a message or a video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and operating system?

Here is the hard drive Im currently looking, if could let me also know if this would be my laptop and if it's a good idea that would be great:

Thank you very much.

Hello

Yes, that's exactly what you do

Kind regards

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
    Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.
