Just so you know, that external drive has one of these in it, which might be still in tact. You can put that into one of these and plug it into your xbox and it will work just the same
SSD come in 2 flavors..
SATA 2.5 inch drives (these hook up just like a SATA HDD)
and M.2 Drives.. These are stick drives the plug directly into an M.2 Slot on the motherboard..
As I look at the Specs for your Laptop I am seeing that it uses a 2.5" (inch) 9.5mm SATA drive..
So any of the SSD's that are 2.5 should work just fine..
I have done 2 recent conversions of Laptop Hard Drives to SSD's
Software I used: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
I used my own desktop to do this, BUT you do NOT need to do this IF you get an external drive case to hook to your laptop..
The bonus is after you image over your Hard Drive to the SSD you can then put your old Hard Drive in the external drive case and use that drive to backup your SSD and to use as secondary storage when needed..
Find any SSD you like: [I would go with a minimum of a 240/250GB drive]
This can be dependent on how much of your current 750GB drive you currently have in use.. You do not want to FILL a 250GB drive you want to have room for more files / Temp files / Files from browsing ect.. AND you should always have around 20% free drive space to keep things(SSD) working well..
So depending on how much of your 750GB you are using..
here is a Nice Samsung 850 EVO 250GB $89.99

The 500GB is $139
The enclosure I usually get is not in stock at Amazon [but this one looks good]:

So what you would do is order your SSD of choice..
Order the External Hard Drive Enclosure of choice..
Download and install Macrium Reflect 7 FREE (I used version 6 - but should be just the same)
Get your stuff and put the SSD into the Drive Enclosure and hook it to the USB port on your laptop..
Use the Software to Image the Hard Drive in your Laptop to the External SSD.. (Sounds simple but it is a little complicated if you have more on the Hard Drive then the SSD can handle)
Once you have a proper Image of the HDD you then turn off the laptop / Remove Battery Flip it over and If you look at the Manual for your Laptop is shows you how to remove the Hard Drive..

Remove the old Hard Drive and replace with the SSD
Put it all back together and turn the laptop on and hopefully it boots back into windows - Just much Faster =)
