    I am going to order another SSD from mymemory. Should I use the existing intallation DVDs that I have for Windows 10 or should I download another one with ISO to either a usb or dvd from Microsoft?

    You can use the same USB Flash drive installation media ,if you haven't overwritten it.
    What about the Compaq? Is it going to be left out of the upgrades? :)

    Currently from £15.99; https://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/data-storage/ssd-drives.html?dir=asc&order=price
    Not that I am suggesting to get the very cheapest.

    If you intend to use it, then definitely. Will just make it more pleasant to use. Not super-fast, but usable for the letter writing and printing.

    Have ordered an SSD for The Compaq but cannot change thje Toshiba as it had a crack on trhe casing and I used Epoxy Putty to stop it spreading and as a result the back case cannot be taken off. So that will become the one for letters and printing etc.

    That's somewhat unfortunate.
    Where exactly is it stuck together? https://toshiba-satellite-c50-b-1c9.com/remove-bottom-cover

    One can buy another bottom cover if necessary; https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Toshiba-Satellite-C50-b-Lower-Bottom-Chassis-AP15H000610-32k/1870682111

    Shame, as by far, the Toshiba is your best machine. :)

    You'll need to make up a new USB Flash drive installation for the Compaq. You'll need to download and create a 32 bit version, as opposed to the 64 bit version from before.

    You won't need a key. What OS is currently installed on the Compaq?
