roytom2 said:many thanks for all the excellent advice.
I fear updating to Windows 10 will soon be my only option - I did this in the distant past and had to do a reinstall of Windows 8 (as supplied originally with it in 2016) as Windows 10 got stuck in a startup repair loop when an obscure driver couldn’t be located.Therefore due to my earlier attempt at installing Windows 10 on this laptop am I entitled to install it again?
kind regards
I have no idea as to why people steadfastly refuse to put details of the device in the original posts. It's such a obvious thing to do.
Use the opportunity to swap over to a solid state drive and the run your clean install to Windows 10 to the SSD.0
