SSD would be the biggest upgrade you could do to it - certainly make more difference than RAM.
However, it depends how long you're planning to keep it. Might as well put that SSD cost towards a new M1 Air or something.

Would it help to install an SSD
You can pick up a 500gb ssd for less than 50 quid so I'd say it's worth a punt. Especially if it the machine was enough for your needs before the update. All machines benefit from having the OS and apps on an ssd anyway.

Bringing a question to expers from here!
Currently using a Macbook Pro mid-2012, for which I updated ram a few years ago. Updated recently to the latest OS I could get to, can't remember which one but I think this is the one previous to the current one so probably Catalina ; I was previously on Yosemite so quite some change but I needed to access to latest iTunes and be able to communicate with my phone as I got the 13 mini.
However, the computer seems to have a bit of a hard time accomodate to the new OS (a lot slower), not necessarily very bad but eveything takes quite some time.
Would it help to install an SSD (it has a regular hard drive right now) and would it be worth it, or is it a better idea to leave it as it is until its death?
