HP Touchsmart 610-1130u
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm interested in upgrading my Touchsmart 610-1130y to SSD, but I'm having trouble finding information.

 

If I'm not mistaken, technically, "any" computer from the past decade can get an SSD.  I'm probably going to get most stuff online, so I want to be sure it's compatible.  The problem is, I can't find any SSDs which are "officially" compatible with this model.  Does that matter?

 

I know I will need a mount. 

 

From what I can tell, there is only one slot for a HDD in this model.  If so, I will probably end up using the old HDD as a slave drive.  The best way to do this is an external enclosure.  Is there anything to look for in an external enclosure?  Since it's going to have to be USB 2.0, is there an enclosure that HP recommends?

 

Lastly, this being the case, it seems like the "best" order of doing things is, putting the SSD in the external enclosure, formating it with Windows 10, then switching out my HDD.
