I bought a used Gateway NV78 laptop from a friend of mine and it's pretty slow when i edit videos on after effects and when I play some games on it.

I'm planning on upgrading this laptop, but what are the possible upgrades available for it?

I found out that I can't upgrade the RAM as 4gb is its maximum capacity and it already has 4 gb in it.

is replacing a HDD with a SSD the only option I have?

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6600 (2M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) according to Intel your cpu supports PGA478 socket (Pin Grid Array) which means you can replace it whith another of the same family. however since it is an dead cpu series anyway and your laptop is limited to 4gb of ram as you say, if you seak better performance you better upgrade to a newer laptop!
