I recently inherited an HP 250 G4 laptop. It's an i3 machine, and fairly slow, but it's basically brand new with little use. I use the laptop to run software for my guitar amp, so it doesn't need to be fast, but what annoys me is the slow as molasses boot times.
Since it's a Win7 machine, I've decided to upgrade it to Win10. I've ordered 16GB of ram, which is the max it can take, but I'm also considering replacing the hard drive with an SSD. I'm thinking I don't need anything special, and that something like this would work: https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-500gb/p/N82E16820250087
But I don't really fiddle with laptops much, so I figured I'd ask rather than order something and have it be wrong.
