AHCI = SATA. The storage in the BIOS is permanently set to AHCI. You could not change it if you wished so yes you can replace the hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. In Windows 7 and higher SSDs will automatically get configured with TRIM and NCQ so no real need to set anything just treat it like a hard drive and it will work to full advantage. It is possible the SATA controller on the motherboard is a SATA-II not -III but an SSD is still a major performance upgrade.
