Bought an extra stick of memory and a 1tb ssd for a used 2013 laptop. Made a usb iso of mint, put the new memory in, stuck the clean ssd in (zero formatting), booted the device from the usb and installed mint.

Granted I know the learning curve really begins now but, unless someone is absolutely against learning something new, I heartily recommend at least trying a user friendly linux distro like mint.

FYI: Tor browser is much faster.

Installing Linux can either be a dream or a nightmare.

I looked at lots of tutorials that required cloning software and backing up and other stuff. I decided since the laptop I bought had no important data, I'd take a chance. Put in the new ssd with a usb boot and install of the linux distro.

Worked a treat and now I'ma playin' with linux.
