  • Cheers. I wasn't sure because it's running a 32-bit version of Windows 7.

    invest in an SSD

    Have they come down drastically in price? Last time I looked they were >£100. Which on a 7yo free laptop seems a bit much.

    I think I could stomach £30 max.

  • Yeah I don't know why they would put 32 bit windows on a 64 bit machine. Perhaps some of the hardware didn't have 64 bit drivers at the time.

    You can check supported architectures form the Linux console using lscpu.

    SSDs have fallen a lot in price, but 250gb from a reputable manufacturer is still going to set you back ~£70-80
