Upgrading ODD on M15x

Hey, i have a M15x win7 ultimate i7 840, everything is great except i would like to watch and burn to and from blu ray disks, i currently have a dvd burner only. how hard is it, or is is possible to upgrade to a bluray burner that is a slot load like the one on my computer, i am assuming that i have to take the laptop apart, which i dont really mind. also, is the drive using SATA on this laptop, i assume it is... 

any input is greatly appreciated....

Call Dell Spare Parts 1-800-372-3355. Ask for either of these part numbers:
J507D 4X Blu-Ray DVD/RW, Sony, Sata
5V759 4X Blu-Ray DVD/RW, HLDS, Sata

Here is the M15x video teardown.

Here is the M15x Service Manual.

Is it directly compatible or do you need new drivers with the 5v759?

The operating system should just pick it up.
