Even if your Mac like MacBook Pro/Air prior to 2013 is able for SSD upgrade, you should be careful because Macbooks don’t use standard SSD designs and MBPs.

As time marches on, you'll increasingly have to stay on older versions of apps and not keep up with the newest and shiniest. If you are using a Retina MacBook Pro or Air that was made mid-2013 or later, it’s almost impossible to upgrade the hard drive because PCIe-based SSDs don’t use standard connectors. This model was on the market from June 2012 until it was.
Your MBP won't run Big Sur, so you're already falling into 'legacy' territory. The 'best' OS is the one that lets you run the apps that you need, while supporting your hardware. Test booting into Safe Boot Mode (hold down shift at boot), or running in a brand new user account that doesn't have all the Login Items and Launch Agents of your existing account. The MacBook Pro 13' Unibody for Mid 2012 requires a Tri-point Y0 Screwdriver to remove the battery. Or it could be that the slowness is caused by software: things you've installed, possibly for a previous OS, that now don't play well on Catalina. The MacBook Pro 13' Unibody (Mid 2012) Memory Maxxer RAM Upgrade Kit includes all the parts and tools you need to upgrade to 16 GB of RAM. If you haven't already maxed it to 16 GB, do so. Not enough RAM could also be a factor (combined with swapping onto slow storage media). (If you've already done that, then make sure the SSD has at least 20% free space.) I have personally used the Kingston KVR16LS/8 modules many times with great results. Both the Retina and non-Retina models (mid 2012) support 16GB of RAM. If you still have the original hard drive, then that's the likeliest cause of slowness, and it should be replaced by an SSD - to improve reliability, if nothing else. The Mid 2012 MacBook Pro can support up to 16GB of RAM by using 2 8GB kits. (Indeed, one of the reasons they cut off older Macs is because the new OS doesn't run well.) If Apple says an OS will run on that Mac, that means it should run fine. The memory and hard drives are designed to be upgraded by end-users, and doing so is straightforward, but Apple does not intend for one to upgrade their own processor(s). This means that you can run Mojave on a cheese grater Mac Pro if it has the appropriate graphics card you. Your question is based on the premise that it is the OS that is causing the slowness. Formally, just as it has been for all previous Mac Pro models, Apple does not state whether or not the processors in the 'Mid-2010' or 'Mid-2012' Mac Pro lines can be upgraded. All Mac Pros from late 2013 and later (that’s the trashcan Mac Pro) will run Mojave, but earlier models, from mid 2010 and mid 2012, will also run Mojave if they have a Metal capable graphics card.
