My apologies, I'm pretty much illiterate when it comes to technology But I'm basically trying to give new life to my Asus laptop. The model is K60ij And I believe it's about 15 years old. I've been trying to use it lately, and it is extremely slow, like literally takes minutes to do any tasks. Before I send it to the crusher, I'm just wondering if there's a way to make it work even a little faster. I was reading some older posts, and people say an SSD is pretty much the only way to go. Is this still the case? Is there anything else I can do to make it run faster?

I'm currently using Windows 10, although I'm not sure if Windows 10 made it run slower or faster.
