Hello. I have a question regarding an ssd upgrade. My mom has an acer e1 521 laptop which is really slow (amd dual core 1.4GHz, wd 320gb hdd). I was thinking of replacing the hdd with a crucial mx300 ssd which I bought recently. So here's what's bothering me: will it make the laptop faster considering the slow processor or should I consider buying a better laptop with a more powerful processor! I'm really not a pc expert so I would be very grateful for any response. Cheers!

Reinstall Windows.

Yea, get a fresh boot of windows 10 (if it is not already). You could an SSD if you wanted to, I think the HDD is fine. You could get a new router if the current one is old or slow.
