If it’s really old and uses an magnetic ‘spinning rust’ style hard drive it probably doesn’t have an m2 slot connector so you’d want a “SATA ssd” as opposed to a newer “m2” style. For $100 or less you can get up to 500GB size as long as you stick to the less prestige brands. 256gb is another option though you only save about $20-$30.
Don’t buy anything yet until you can get someone here to look at that error code and make a diagnosis as you don’t want to spend good money after bad on something that might not fix the problem.
My laptop is quite old and I still have a busted hdd that’s super slow and always running at 100%
Can you swap it for an SSD?
Dunno offhand
