An SSD will give new life to an aging laptop, provide a huge
performance boost, and is a no brainier.You don't say what size drive
or who the manufacturer is. By way of comparison I upgraded my 08
dual core ACER a couple of months ago to a Samsung EVO 500GB for :
$207.99. Replacing a laptop hard drive is extremely easy and I am
sure you will find an instructional  Youtube video about this. Make
sure they send you back your original hard drive that you can put it
in an external USB3 case.. I just bought one of those at Amazon for 10 bucks.
