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.
