You can download the upgrade and service guide here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/HP/IQ524/5943

Be aware that some are in foreign languages so grab the right one.

Rather than explain the process you should review the upgrade manual. It shows, with illustrations, how to disassemble the PC and replace the hard disk.

Be aware that only one hard disk will fit inside and if you replace it you will need to completely reinstall Windows.
