Any quality SSD would do, I personally have a preference for Samsung products, like this: Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III 2.5" SSD 2TB (MZ-77Q2T0B) : Electronics. Crucial is also high quality: Crucial BX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT2000BX500SSD1 : Electronics ....
You'll need to clone your HHD to SSD, and for that you'll need an "External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer" cable such as this one: StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter fo.... Then you'll want to use the freeware program Macrium Reflect from here: Macrium Software | Reflect Free Edition, which is necessary for its "Direct disk cloning" utility.
Normally when replacing an HHD for an SSD, you'll need a Hard Drive Adapter Internal Drive Bay Converter Mounting Bracket/Caddy, but it appears you don't need it: either use the original bracket or Velcro it in as shown in this tutorial: (137) HP Pavilion 23 All in One SSD Hard Drive Replacement Guide - YouTube.
Once the cloning is complete, shutdown, replace your original HHD with the newly cloned SSD, and you're done.
That's it.
Hope this helps.
