Hi there,
I own a 2016 Acer Aspire E5-575T with an Intel Core i5-7200U, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, and Windows 10 Home 20H2. The screen is failing and takes a long time to boot, though once it's running I don’t notice much slowdown. I’m thinking about swapping the display and installing an SSD to speed up Windows, which would cost around C$200 to 250. Alternatively, I could purchase a newer machine with a modern Intel processor for about three times that amount. My goal is to extend the life of my current setup, but I’m wondering if these upgrades would be worth it. Should I proceed with the changes now, or wait for a more powerful replacement?

If you don’t have any issues with the performances while running, adding an SSD to speed up the boot process is a clear choice, as those specifications remain quite good. If there’s room for two drives, you can opt for a smaller SSD, which would lower the cost.
You might also extend the machine’s lifespan.
