Hello,
I got a Toshiba Satellite (kinda old 4 years old) it has an AMD E-450 For CPU.
I want to buy an ssd but i dont want to remove my main HDD...So is there any way to install the ssd to my laptop?Can i remove my DVD-ROM and install there the ssd?
I want the SSD to be the drive with the windows !

It's unlikely such a machine has dual hard drive bays, and it is even less likely it has a free M.2 slot for a newer SSD. It is very unlikely you will be able to install an SSD while keeping the original HDD. It is even likely the laptop uses SATA II, which means an SSD will be very throttled in such a system.

Still, a SATA II throttled SSD will be faster than any and every hard drive in existence.
