Are you making this change to increase the speed or because you need

If you have plenty of free space on the existing drive and are
primarily looking to increase speed, have you considered a solid
state drive? They are lighting fast and somewhat reasonable in
price. If you need more than 500GB, the SSDs get a little pricey.

It's strictly for speed. Windows 8.1 is very slow on that computer.

An SSD is something to think about.

Like I said I don't know anything about laptops. I just want to make
sure the drive I order will fit in her computer. Are they all
physically the same?

laptop drives and SSD's come in 7mm and 9mm thickness. Your existing
drive is 7mm. Other than that they are all the same size.
