Hi:

 

I suggest that you just replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.

 

Those DVD adapters will most likely run the SSD at a slower speed because most DVD drives are only connected to a SATA II port.

 

You can use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook on the new SSD.

 

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...
