You can simply swap in a 2.5" SSD and reload Windows or clone your existing OS (the former requires you make a set of recovery media while the latter will require additional hardware and software).

Replacing the hard drive on this model requires quite a bit of disassembly - including removing the system board.  Be sure you're comfortable with the level of work involved:

Did you finally upgrade your Inspiron N4010 SSD?

What SSD did you use?

Any problems?

Hello,

Below are my system information

Intel (R) Core (TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz

RAM = 3.00 GB DDR3 RAM

System Type = 32 - bit Operating System, x64 based processor

My Question is my computer is running slow and it is around 10 year old, i would like to upgrade this with SSD

Kingston A400 240Gb or WD Green SATA 2.5/7mm (WDS240G2G0A)


My Question is

Since my laptop is 10 year old and 32bit will ssd upgrade will improve a performance ?

should i upgrade RAM as 6gb or 8 gb max or go for SSD

4 GB RAM Upgrade will cost me around 2K and SSD is costing me 3K

i can't do both currently so suggest me what should i do first.

My usage is limited most of the time web browsing with good amount of tabs open along with Word,Excel & Powerpoint, Youtube and tally application that's it..
