6 years for a budget laptop is probably not worth doing up.
I’d look for Dell official refurbished laptops. They have an outlet on eBay. I don’t personally have experience with them but apparently their after sale service is the same as their brand new units.
By the way, slightly off topic? Does she have to pay for MS office? If so, stop now! I haven’t had to use MS Office for years and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me! I don’t even have to save my stuff anymore by using Google Doc, Google Sheet and export my files as whatever I need - .docx, .pdf etc etc.

Advice needed please:
Mrs sacred has a laptop, 6 yr old toshiba satelite c660-10d
It was a budget buy, £350.
Has been fine but now very slow, friezes for ages when updating.
Its running windows 10.
I was going to get an ssd installed by a forumer a while back and never followed it up.
Her requirements for a laptop are:
Decent size screen (for a laptop)
Proper keyboard
Ability to run microsoft office/ word as she mostly does work stuff on it, writing reports and such
Bit of internet
Watch films
Am i best off sorting out the ssd or selling the old one for a couple of quid and buying a new budget laptop.
If the latter what are some decent options.
Im fed up with seeing her frustrated when it friezes and delays her work.
Neither of us is computer savvy particularly. I can find my way around android and mac but i find windows baffling.
Thanks!
