SSD is a big plus over HDD, at sapat na yan for general use. Gamit ko ngayon ay RAMSTA S800 250GB SDD sa laptop ko with far lesser specs than yours, pero pag lipat ko sa SSD sobrang ganda na ng performance like fast startup & shutdown, fast file copies, at iba pa. Mind you that the SSD I use isn't what I recommend kahit ok sya, go for better known ones like SAMSUNG or Kingston para safe ang data mo.

For the OS, Win10 Home x64 bit! I recommend you format the laptop yourself, download ka ng Win10 ISO from the Microsoft website, huwag na wag ka mag DL ng Win10 na pre-activated. More than likely may virus na yan, I can provide you an ac†ïvâ†ør na hindi .exe if you like. Dahil may trojan ang current installation mo, format mo muna ang C: drive sa installation menu ng ISO kung ikaw mismo ang mag-install ng OS, though I doubt na kailangan mo ito kasi naman may ssd ka naman haha.

WOW !
i don't know what to do sa HDD ko sir haha. Mukang ang hirap iconvert sa Caddy ung DVDrom ni laptop haha.
ang issue ko sa SSD is ung amount ng memory, 250gb lang. Mukang need ko na din ata ng external para dun ko na lang isave mga movies and anime ko.

if it's okay sir, magpa guide ako sayo regarding sa pag reformat. i never tried reformatting haha. gamit lang kasi ako ng gamit, pero now aware na ko sa status ng lappy ko. Ang hirap talaga pag walang alam >.<

as of now nag cacanvas pa po ako ng mainam na SSD.

Thank you so much sir for your response.
I really appreciate it. <3

I can provide all your OS installation questions, no problem!

At Oo, 250GB is certainly not enough para sa katulad natin na madaming anime, haha. An external hard drive is a must have talaga, that's the issue with SSD's, ang mahal! Ginawa ko nalang is I separated the OS partition from my personal files, pero as you can tell from the redness, di sapat.

If ever na Windows 8-10 ang gamit mo, check mo task manager then Performance then Memory. Sa lower right may "Slots used" doon. Doon mo makikita kung pwede ka maglagay ng another 4gb of ram or more. Sana makatulong.

Problem ko na lang pala if compatible or fit ung bibilin ko na Ram hahaha.

Yep pwede dagdagan yan. Kung gusto mo malaman overall specification ng system mo dl ka ng Speccy. Simple lang yon pero makikita mo lahat ng info even RAM brand etc. It's best na same brand pero kung hindi, okay lang rin as long as same frequency and CAS latency.
