My cousin's 2011 asus laptop also still going strong,laptop avg build quality was a lot better overall till a few years ago.
 
HP Notebook - 15-da0327tu hows this laptop for everyday use
Post thread with filled questionnaire. Usually Acer & asus have better value for money options these days, even Lenovo.

That laptop is just terrible at 32k. Get Lenovo S145 with AMD R3 3200U from Lenovo's website. R3 3200U is a better CPU (similar to i3 8th gen) & has factory-installed 512GB SSD. It costs 28k on sales, usually 30-32k. You can get R5 2500U/3500U laptops at 35k on sales w/o SSD.

Run cpu-z & find the ram specification & then buy matching specification ram.This laptop seems to have 2 ram slots but if it has two 4gb ram sticks then upgrading will result in wastage of one 4gb ram stick.Assuming 4gb ram stick in one slot then other slot should be able to easily take 8gb ram stick for a total of 12gb ram or 8gb ram sticks in both slots for a total 16gb ram.

Any 2.5" sata ssd will work by replacing the hdd.Get this Buy Online Crucial MX500 2.5 Inch 1TB SATA III 3D NAND SSD CT1000MX500SSD1 In India

Yes SSD can be upgraded. It can be upgraded with another 8GB RAM of the same latency which is 2666MHZ DDR4.

I checked the support manual for Omen 200 series on HP India site & it says it has m2 NVMe slot.

But keep in mind that you will get only 232gb of usable space,it is better to replace hdd with ssd as size will remain same & you can use the internal hdd as external by using usb case. Or you can get this(just make sure to leave ~100gb space(aka ~10%) free on this drive): Buy Online Intel 1TB 660P NVMe M.2 Internal SSD SSDPEKNW010T801 In India

For ram you can get two of these after running crucial compatibility tool on your laptop for confirmation.

Most of these laptop discounted 50% on MRP were available at 1-2k more price.
That AMD ryzen s145 lappy was available for ~29k before 50% discount.

^ totally agreed.
OP, if you are still waiting for suggestions, then get a external DVD writer which is always suggested here by many forum members. And get a good bag with cushioned pockets if you really need to carry around your dvd writer with laptop.

@anupam_pb ; @TheSloth ; @SaiyanGoku , just an info brothers.
My archaic DELL Inspiron 14 5447 Laptop , is functioning still better.
But I am running Fedora 31 on it. Erased Windows from it.

Shall I revert back to Windows?
Can the Intel core i54xxx, CPU, be able to handle the latest updates of Windows 10 smoothly and effectively/efficiently?
