I downloaded the latest Win10 release, ran various commands (Sfc /scannow and various DISM), then cloned the C: drive to a new 480GB SSD, swapped them over, and Robert’s your mother’s brother.

Improvements
Boot time - 5 minutes to 20 seconds
Log on time - 2-3 minutes to 5-7 seconds
Chrome web page - 30 seconds to 2 seconds
Word document - 1 minute to 3 seconds

It’s only got 4GB memory (2x2GB), so I’ll change that out for 2x4GB next month - only cost £60 (and my time) so far, and another £40 next month for the memory.

It's great memory prices are so low again.
