Question Sony Viao SVF15A1M2E - upgrade parts or replace entirely?

[bethif59]

I’ve a Sony laptop SVF15A1M2 laptop that’s almost ten years old.

It’s lasted me well for what I need of it (web, email, Word) and I can continue to use it in this way, but it is showing its age - booting up can take a long time, as well as windows updates.

I’m now wondering whether upgrading the parts (SSD, new battery, etc) will be a good way of prolonging its use for another few years but can’t find resources that will help me understand that.

Whenever possible, I prefer to repair and refurbish, rather than buy new but do the specs (below) warrant buying new parts to get a few more year of use or not? Im not a high end user by any means.

Thanks in advance!
