Hi, I am using a Desktop with specs

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, 3300 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Intel Corp. BEH6110H.86A.0041.2012.0319.1659, 19-Mar-12
BaseBoard Product DH61WW
BaseBoard Version AAG23116-300

HDD WD Blue 1TB SATA

Can It be upgraded with SSD Crucial MX500 500GB 6.35 cm(2.5-inch) SSD ?

Will it be improved?

Probably.   If it were me, I would clone your HDD to the new SSD, and remove the HDD.  Then boot the SSD.

I use Macrium Reflect to do this quite frequently.

Yes it csn and yes it will make a difference. I have one of the other Intel 6 series Desktop Boards with a i7-2600 and I am using one of these SSDs with it. I purchased a SATA III add-in card to improve performance further. It lives. For now.
