How hard is it in what way? Physically? Just remove a few screws, slide open the case, remove a backing plate, and press it into a slot. If you really want to get fancy, hook up the wire for the LED light at the front of case. Easy. Even if you've never installed a card in any computer before, there's 10,000 videos on YouTube that show you how to do it.

Now setting up the software, partitioning, configuring with HDToolBox, etc., that's a whole other can of worms. :lol:

useful if you can get the GVP software that came with it.

The GVP "FaaastPrep" software is useless on hard drives larger than a couple hundred megabytes.  Use HDToolBox or HDInstTools for "modern" drives.
