My parents currently have an older Dell Inspiron 1520 and the hard drive died on me while I was trying to do a system restore, it won't even recognize it now. I just swapped the hdd out of my Lenovo laptop for a ssd and I was wondering if its worth sticking that hdd into their Inspiron or spending a $100 on a 64gb ssd and installing a fresh copy of XP (if I put anything other than XP on it their heads will explode) on it. Is an ssd gonna make a noticable performance improvement on a laptop that old?
I had even considered getting them a Chromebook considering basically all they use it for is paying bills and Amazon but I have a feeling I'll regret that.
