[SOLVED] Upgrading hard drive to ssd

[namirai]

Hello,

My laptop had aged quite some time and I want to upgrade my hard drive to an ssd. I am really worried if the ssd won't fit. Do I need to worry about the dimensions of the ssd?

I understand its only $22.
But please don't buy a 120GB drive, and please don't buy that particular 120GB drive.

I urge you to buy one with a higher capacity as 120GB is really not going to be enough. When you've installed the OS on it and some applications (plus updates) it will soon start to fill up so you'll be back to square one having to change the drive again.

I don't know it exactly if I search it up, but on the laptop it says "Packard Bell Easynote TK"

It seems it will take a standard 2.5" SSD.

I'd strongly recommend a 250GB or larger, and not that Kingston at any size.

Generally in older laptops, there is no option of upgrading but in yours I dont know? Tell your Laptop model
