I ask this because I would have no idea how to change the HDD inside the machine
Do external SSD's really help spped up the machine or is it slowed down by a USB 2 connection?

The only way it will speed your computer is to clone the old drive then put the SSD in your machine and restore the cloned image to the SSD. Using software like Ghost. They can only speed it up if they are the drive installed in the machine
