Answer
The best way of upgrading a hard drive in a laptop is to buy a replacement hard drive AND a USB-SATA 2.5" external enclosure (about $20).

Install the new hard drive into the enclosure and attach it to the machine.

Use HDClone, Acronis Partition Manager or a utility that comes from the drive manufacturer to clone the internal hard drive to the external one. http://www.computer-answers.ca/2012/computer-questions/windows-questions/q-how-do-i-clone-my-windows-7-drive-to-a-new-hard-drive/

Then physically swap the two drives (this will require opening the machine. Refer to the owners manual, and if you are not confident, take it to a competent tech.

Put the old drive into the external enclosure -- voila, there is your backup.

Installing 8 GB RAM is easy, you need two 4GB DDR3-1333 modules and you can swap them in yourself.
