Solved! Replacing a failing HDD with a SSD

[lyndabailey990]

will a ScanDisc SSD be compatible with my hp 17 e049wm? This is the one I'm looking at SanDisk 250GB Ultra 3D NAND SATA III SSD - 2.5-inch Solid State Drive - SDSSDH3-250G-G25

sure, but I will get Crucial MX500/Samsung 850/860 evo.
I will suggest backing up the data first using an external drive.
