So after I upgraded my VAIO's HDD to an SSD, I've been very impressed with the performance - zippy performance all over and extremely fast start-ups.
I have a 6 year old Acer Aspire One Netbook lying around which I've lent my sister but then she abandoned it. Can't blame her because it is so slow and quite painful to use. So I decided to have a go at upgrading this netbook too in the hopes of making it still usable.
The first task is to upgrade the OS from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 10. The start up was slightly faster. The good thing about Windows 10 is that it somehow improves performance of devices with inferior hardware but only up to a certain degree.
After OS upgrade, I got the SSD first - a Samsung Evo 850 which comes with a migration software, unfortunately I had to get the SATA adapter myself. Since I couldn't get that frigging adapter in my local IT shop I had to wait 4 days to buy it online from Qoo 10.
