    I finally got around to installing a new kingston SSD (my cheap SSD of choice), and a new battery. The old battery is swollen and never held a charge beyond 20-30 min. I am now installing Win7 on it to upgrade to win 10 legally. Can't wait to see how fast it will be after the updates. I clocked it at 1:17 from start button to log on screen with the chitty seagate drive in it.

    I will report back after I get it all booted, loaded and updated!

    It's working great. Win 10 is much faster than win 7 on the computer.
