Yes. It makes all the difference in the world, far more than the additional RAM.

Upgrade was an easy drive pull and replace, and I just restored from Time Machine to get all my data back. No fuss.

But I don't have a windows partition or anything else special. I imagine it will be a bit more work for you since you'll need to backup the Windows partition and restore it.

I was tempted to do that, but to be honest the battery of that computer is kind of shot (it only lasts about 3 hours nowadays) so I didn't think it was worth spending the money. Might as well sell that one and spend a few hundred more to get something with a retina display and a factory SSD :)
