Hi,

The only choice is to replace the 2.5" Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the Crucial MX500 or similar.

On page 49 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive

You could also upgrade to 8GB of RAM which would give a further boost.

You will need to reinstall the OS on the SSD either by cloning the old drive or performing a clean install

with Microsoft media creation tool (create the USB drive before replacing Hard Drive). You can even install Windows 10 which will activate automatically.

Hope it helps,
