Upgrade my laptop if possible

[Parashar1]

I found my this old laptop in my village home , it has quite bad specifications ,so I wanted to know whether or not can I upgrade it , it's HP 15-R063TU 15.6 inches windows  8.1 , 2 core processor ,4th generation 4005u/4GB/500GB HDD , Intel HD Graphics 4400 , so what I wanted to do is to replace HDD by SDD and increase it's ram from 4gb to 8 to more and Windows version to 10 pro ,is it possible to do all these modifications on this one?

I read some specs on this and the information is not encouraging.

The existing drive is a 5400 RPM SATA, which leads me to believe the SATA bus is Gen 1 -- which makes it little faster than the older IDE bus.  That's going to severely throttle back any SSD you put into it and make it generally not worth the money.

I have upgraded a similar generation Fujitsu laptop with an SSD, and while that did improve the performance, it only made it tolerable, not fast. And, I only did that because I needed to resurrect the laptop for use on a daily basis.

Also, it has a really old Intel vide chipset and there are no current Win10 drivers for that, so you may be stuck with generic drivers, which will make it agonizingly slow.

Hi, @Parashar1 

Your notebook's SATA controller is SATA 3, which supports the fastest SATA transfer speed of 6.0 GB/S.

You can install up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L memory in your notebook.

Below is the link to the Crucial memory/SSD report for your notebook.

The MX model SSD's have faster read/write speeds than the BX models do.
