Upgrade HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee from 500GB HDD to SSD

[ShailNig]

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-Bit), 4GB RAM

Hello,

I have decided to try and eke out some performance from my dv6 purchased in 2009, as it still seems to be working fairly well.

The only annoying thing is the response speed issue, it takes a while to boot up, video conference is not rendering properly etc,

I am hoping an SSD upgrade will do the trick.

The laptop has a 500 GB hard disk installed, 

I aim to use a cloning software provided by the SSD supplier to clone the hard disk contents into the new SSD, then when I replaced the original HDD with the SSD, 

It will just start working like before? Is that correct?

What size of SSD to be used? (Supported by the laptop)

Are there any other tips or tricks? 

Sorry, I know this is too many questions, any help is appreciated.

You can use all standard 2.5" SATA SSD's on market today such as Crucial MX500, Samsung 850/860/870 EVO series or similar from other vendors. For example

You can use 500GB, 1TB or 2TB
