Please lemme know if I'm missing something:
1. just try to save whatever data I want onto another storage (to hopefully avoid getting an external case)
2. get a new USB drive to install the Win10 stuff
3. buy a SSD and do the physical replacement
4. switch it back on and insert the USB drive to install Win10
PRESTO, done and done?

No. Not done. You will then need to transfer the data back onto the computer. If you have installed any other programs onto your old laptop, if you want those programs on the new computer you will need to reinstall them on your new computer. So there's some more.
