Doing upgrades for the first time with a laptop is not for the faint of heart!!!
Regardless of being plugged in. 

It is suspected that some laptops like my Toshibi satellite are skimping on voltage. Some are using a outboard USB hub with external wal wart power. 
I havnt got one of these but it's on the to buy list. 

If you use a laptop with success, good but I don't recommend using a laptop for the first time without a backup plan.
