Ok, in baby talk, just for you.

That laptop has 2 drive bays. One is for the hard disk, then second drive bay is the CD/DVD rom drive, which these days are rarely used as people are using ISO (cd format file) either as standalone, or on usb sticks.

Replace the hard disk with a smaller about 120G ssd drive, and this is for the operating system and will be the c: drive.

Instead of a cd rom you will need to remove it (often only 1 screw), get a replacement disk caddy from ebay that is the same thickness as CD/DVD drive, and also has the same connections.

Put a second hard disk (normally much bigger capacity), or the original hard disk in the caddy.

My laptop is now 10 years old. It has 4GB RAM and was running Windows 10 but was unusably slow until a few days ago when swapped the hard drive for a £75 250GB SSD and also installed 64 bit W10 to use an extra 1GB of my RAM.
Now it’s fast enough for all office tasks, web surfing and image editing.
