he picture's not big enough for us to nerd out on.
DIY'ers get my respect.

I did this while I working in the UK.
I used to build rigs and over clock them. Crucial made fantastic RAM sticks so I suspect they make good SSD. I'm probably preaching to the choir but the drawback with SSD is you can't read/write to it as many times as you can a disk.
Who cares? The stuff is so cheap you can move everything to an external drive every night. Let it die 10 years down the road and buy another one.

People who use a lot of media and buy expensive machines with soldered on SSD drives that's who cares.
Nice
Does it work better? Ssd doesn’t break making clicking noises like conventional HD’s right?

How about now? I am using Crucial MX500 SSD.

How much is an expensive 10 year old laptop worth these days? Unless you are talking about enterprise servers ssd life should very rarely be a problem. https://www.howtogeek.com/322856/how-long-do-solid-state-drives-really-last/
So taking all of this data in at once, what overall conclusion can we draw? Looking at these studies consecutively, it might seem like your SSD will burst into flames after a year or two. But keep ...
I'm thinking of doing a SSD upgrade to a laptop. But mostly because it's a HP where the BIOS limits the amount of RAM that you can install to 4GB, which really isn't enough, so it's using lots of virtual memory that's really slowing it down. I figure using virtual memory on a SSD isn't going to be as much of an impediment.

If your BIOS is limiting you to 4GB of RAM then it's time to get a new laptop, dude. Lol
Have you considered your OS may be a resource hog? Linux is a good solution when you face HW constrictions. SSD should enhance performance of OS though.
I might try that as well, meaning Ubuntu. I was just trying to keep the Windows 7 in it because I use it to work from home, and the work VPN software doesn't work in Linux (although I do have phone apps for that). Otherwise I would have done that already.
Can you install a new bios?
