i did the same but mine was from a windows surface from someone off ebay. threw it in an external housing and ran software, cant remember the name but the one everyone recommends for this, and it was legit. if youre handy with a screwdriver and can follow basic instructions on flashing the software its fairly easy. just make sure you have the right size bit as the screws are easy to strip. i saw a post on reddit about a guy taking a hammer to his. dont be that guy.
