Having thought about buying a good bundle (very nearly tempted) I feel as I am quite busy just now that buying a whole machine would be my best move. So, cannot run to a new one of the spec I would like, so will probably go for a return of a decent machine on budget and upgrade with SSD later.
Also will likely opt for win 10 purely on probable supported life over 7 or 8.1.

That way I can keep old machine as a standby and run any incompatible software (if any), change these over in slow time and then reuse drives in a NAS if so desired much later or even a caddy or two.

Thoughts on that approach welcomed and also on possible machine which is a dell optiplex,midi tower, certified refurbished, 7010 with i5 3470, 8GB ram win 10 pro 64bit and rw DVD. Hard disk could be bigger but that should suffice when I get an SSD and utilise older drives (one of which and a backup drive that are not that old so a shame to waste them)
