I am a little reluctant to download more programmes.

With XP, 10GB is pretty lean. And 2GB of itunes is a serious chunk of that. I'd definitely think about an external hard disc as a minimum to transfer the itunes tracks across. As for the programs (that is the correct spelling ), it depends on what you have and what you are confident you don't use.

Download and run https://www.ccleaner.com to safely delete unnecessary files including cookies, temporary files, browser cache etc.

Assuming your computer is otherwise running OK and you won't need to go back to a previous system state, delete all but the last system restore point: Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup - OK. More Options tab - Clean up under System Restore.

10Gb is tiny these days especially if itunes are involved, you need to get a hold of a bigger hard drive. I can imagine how slow the PC is running & would be in tears (of frustration)!

You could also compress the disk. it may take some time though

With the size of hard disc I think you'll just end up running into the same problem gain very quickly although good idea to back up all your stuff anyway. Do you have a dvd writer?
