Product: ENVY 17 K2Z68AV
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Envy K2Z68AV 17" from 2015/2016. It is still running great and strong, however, instead of buying a new system, I would like to find an economical way to make this notebook run smoother. Bootup times are horrible I believe because it is running on HDD not SSD. Is this a good route or is buying a new system much better?

Replacing slow HDD with a faster SDD will definitely help to speed up your machine. I normally clone the existing HDD to new SSD then swap. There are few other ways, please use the following guides/tutorials
