I just got a SSD for my late 2011 mp but I don't know how to change it, can I seek help in the Apple store?

I want to replace the HDD with SSD in my late 2011 Macbook pro, the question is I dont tools and knowledge about this job. So I am wondering if i can seek help from local Apple store?

Good choice! I have one installed in my 13" MBP. The installation is not too difficult, but it is not trivial. I'm pretty experienced with this stuff so just take your time and carefully follow the instructions. You'll be working with tiny little screws that are easy to drop and/or lose. I suggest using magnetic tipped tools. There are a couple of screws in some tight areas that are a little difficult to remove.
Be particularly careful to check all the snap-on cablings when you reassemble. There is one you don't remove during installation that is near the top part of the optical drive and covered over. When I was tugging on the drive to remove it I apparently popped the cable under the cover. Turned out it was for the WiFi and BT. I had to disassemble the back cover and look hard for something I couldn't see. I just happened to press on the covered area where the cable connected and heard the snap of it reconnecting. If it weren't for that I would have never figured out why my WiFi and BT stopped working!
