You could always punt on the SSD question and get a hybrid SATA drive
for use under XP. I bought dozens of them from 2011 to 2014 or so. I
worked for a company that was looking to eke out a couple more years out
of laptops, and replacing a plain SATA drive with a hybrid drive gave us
a nice little speed boost that made an older system more appealing.

Hybrid SATA drives slap a big flash cache (4-8 GB) onto a drive. When
you boot up, it boots at spinning drive speeds, but once you start
loading apps, they get loaded into the cache and run from the cache at
SSD speeds. No TRIM issues, since it's a SATA drive at heart.
