Just continue to use the old laptop by putting Linux on it--LibreOffice will cater for all her MS Office compatibility needs. There are plenty of very lightweight Linux versions that will run on very old hardware and that will allow her to do everything in your list. It's really not too hard to do it yourself, but if you'd be happy to pay a small fee I know someone who specialises in that sort of thing and it would be a small job for him to sort it out. /spam

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!
