Does the Late 2013 21.5 inch iMac display adhesive tape really work?

I am thinking about adding a solid-state drive into my iMac. Does the display adhesive tape that I would use to stick the display back onto the computer really work (would it adhear well enough)? Also, do I need an apple certified solid-state drive (or a solid-state drive that is compatible with the iMac) or would any solid-state drive work? I know zero about computers but I think that I could make this happen on my own. Any thoughts? I would greatly appreciate it. Do I need drivers? I thought, buy a solid-state drive, take the iMac apart, install solid-state drive, put the iMac back together and problem solved. I don't even know what a driver is (again, I know absolutely zero about computers). Does anyone think that I could actually do this successfully? Or should I pay someone to do it. I think I would prefer to do it myself and save some $$$. Thank you.
