I swapped my hhd for this SSD and it was the best thing ever. I have the Dell 2350 which is similar to yours. There shouldn't be any issues upgrading your machine. In my case, I even had a 32gb SSD used to help my PC boot faster that I had to remove. Since I replaced my hhd to SSD, there was no need to use this other 32gb chip and everything is much faster. If your hhd is most likely a SATA plug already, no special adapter is nessassary. If you plan to clone your hhd to SSD, I recommend buying the Apricorn Data Transfer cable to connect to the new SSD and use the provided Samsung Magician software. It is so easy and worked on first try. I am on Win10. Good luck.
