I'll second Henk's suggestion. I upgraded a 13 year old Gateway laptop
with an I-3 processor and only 4GB RAM. It now boots in seconds versus
minutes using the old spinny drive. I used a Crucial SSD. Crucial
provides a free version of Acronis software for cloning but I used
Macrium Reflect Free as it seemed a little more straight forward to
use. The cloning process took several hours - just get it started, walk
away and come back when it's done. Swapping the HDD with the SSD took
about 15 minutes

Amazon has a plethora of USB to SATA cable choices.

I wonder how this is physically possible with an internal SSD to have
a USB connection.
If you have an old laptop with HDD I would just replace this with a
SATA 2.5 inch SSD for which you need also a SATA/USB (2 or 3) cable
connector to migrate the system.
This will speed up the system tremendously.
Last month I replaced HDD's this way in 2 desktops and 1 laptop using
Samsung 860 EVO SSD's, for which Samsung provide easy cloning software.

I recently saw an ad for an internal laptop SSD with a built in USB3
socket. Try as I might, I can't find it again. This could be very
advantageous for me as my laptop is only USB2 with no Express Card slot.
Anyone?
