I have a question for you guys (Please don't laugh if it sounds dumb):

So, I have a jurassic 500GB SATA HDD, and I'm seriously thinking about upgrading it to a SSD. Will I need a new motherboard, or some kind of adapter? Or I can just purchase an SSD and install it?

Whatever you end up doing, do not get a Kingston NV2 SSD. It's an M.2 drive instead of a SATA one, just for clarity. Anyway, I got one earlier, and supposedly it was not broken, but it would lag the whole OS at times until at some point it would lag it so badly I couldn't even move the cursor and even if I could, I would not be able to shut down the PC. You don't necessarily need a fancy SSD to beat an HDD (supposedly almost any SSD will beat an HDD by a large margin!), but do not get a Kingston NV2.
