i would recommend hdd if you want price over speed, ssd for the opposite. amazon usually has nice deals.
I can't seem to find one on Amazon, based on the pictures I showed, could you look for one for me?
well first check if it is the hdd, and all laptop hdds are compatible with eachother. Its like asking if usb is compatable.
It would work just fine, make sure you remove the drive sled and put the new hdd in it.
Wouldn't I need to plug it in to this port: (file uploaded)

yes, but you want it to be stabilized. Centrifugal force+loose hdd transferring data=VERY BAD
nonono, make sure the hdd is secured in the case so it doesnt wiggle, there should be a drive sled to hold it towards the case/motherboard.
Ok got it, I'll order the drive soon. I should go with the 1TB seagate one as it is only $4 more. But then I will have to re-install Windows 10. (I have a flashdrive with Win10 on it). Thanks for the help. Will update you if it goes well.
judging by your pictures, there are screws in the sides to hold it.

if you have another pc, there is no need to reinstall as you can clone the drive with any disk cloning tool.
I thought the soldered and removable memory was odd
No, problems are in opposite direction. Just cone and resize. Use Windows tools to resize the partition, not third-party tools.
With this computer I could expand the memory by 8gb. And it has 4gb soldered. This computer is 3 years old.

Anyways here are the actual dimentions of my hard drive size. This was the only ruler I had near me
