I have a Lenovo Legion laptop that's in need of a new battery. I've never done any repairs on computers, so I'm wondering if anyone has tips for doing this myself, or if it's better to hire someone to handle it for me.

For quick parts sourcing, just type your laptop's model number with 'battery' into Amazon or eBay. You can usually find the right one without too much hassle.
Definitely check out YouTube for videos on replacing the battery for your specific model. Lots of creators make tutorials on this kind of thing, so you should find something easy to follow.
If you're comfortable with it, replacing the battery is actually pretty straightforward! Just make sure you know the exact model of your laptop, as that helps. You typically unscrew the back, take out the old battery, pop in a new one, and screw it back together. Easy peasy!
Older laptops often have easily replaceable batteries, while newer models can be a bit tricky. If yours is the latter, you might want to consider taking it to a repair shop. It's sometimes easier than dealing with the complications yourself.
True, and if your laptop can't upgrade to Windows 11, it may be wise to get a new machine instead. Keeping up with security updates is super important.
Yep, and they usually walk you through every step, which can make it less scary!
