Is it worth updating an old laptop ?

So I have an older Toshiba laptop computer , it originally came with Windows 7 but is now running 10 . This is still an old school design with built in DVR . Everything still works and generally I am happy with it .

It could use a new battery but I use it plugged in so not an issue . My only real complaint is it is slower than it once was . I guess I could have a " pro " give it a tune up and it would be quicker . The new SSD drives are so inexpensive I am wondering if installing one along with a tune up will get faster performance .

I use the computer for general web surfing , checking email , online research and purchases along with picture storage . It has been a very solid computer and I would say probably better quality than today's mid price level computers . Any feedback from you guys on upgrading older hardware is appreciated .
