If your laptop was made before 2013, ssd may not be a good idea. Older
laptops get a 7200 rpm hard drive if you can. I think I will get myself a
new laptop, but replace the ssd to save some money.

I wasted 60 bucks AND almost 10 hours of my time trying to get a ssd working
on my old laptop from 2011. Stuff can be written on the drive, but the
booting was an issue no matter what os was used from Linux to Windows.
