Google and see what the fastest speed you can get that your computer will recognize and go with that. They're really easy to change. You'll need a copy of the Windows that's on your laptop though so you can install it using your key. Sometimes you can create backup disks with the operating system on your computer so if you were to wipe the hard drive, or in your case replace it, you can install the same operating system that it came with brand new.
