SSD drive would probably see your biggest speed gains, if you're up for the work.
Was thinking I could help, but my wife's new laptop had an actual USB-C port, and yes it's much different than what we've come to think of as a normal USB plug-in. It plugs the laptop into a small brick that handles the monitor, mouse, keyboard, peripherals, and even powering the laptop battery all at the same time.
I think for that laptop I'd be looking for something that was USB 3 to begin with. Plugable has a good reputation.
