1. You should replace both drives with SATA III SSDs like Samsung models listed below:

2. Purchase a cheap USB to SATA adapter like listed below:
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16812119874?Description=usb%20to%20sata%20adapter&cm_re=usb_to_sata_ada...
3. Remove the secondary drive from your laptop.
4. Install the USB to SATA adapter to an available USB slot.
5. Attach the new SATA SSD to the USB to SATA adapter.
6. Download a free copy (30 day trial download) of Macrium Reflect software from:
https://www.macrium.com/products/home
7. Install Macrium Reflect on your OS drive and use it to copy your existing OS drive to your new one. Then simply switch OS drives and reinstall your secondary drive.
If this procedure is above your level of expertise, then please take it to a local technician for completion.
Good Luck
