My system is Dell inspiron 3542 laptop with windows 10 and linux mint 19.1 dual boot. I am thinking to swap a ssd in place of dvd drive. But I am concern that is this a good decision to make as it's rocking intel's 4th gen i5 processor.
Sure, 8GB RAM and an SSD is a good way to give extra life to the laptop. You will want to reinstall your Operating Systems after you install the new SSD.In windows I sometime play casual games like csgo but that I can stop till I build a desktop. In linux (which I mostly use) I do entry level programming like C++,Python and Matlab, but that runs smoothly, if not faster. Tomorrow I am going to upgrade ram from 4GB to 8.
