I understand that, I would not risk permanent damage. I also know how steel reacts and how to design and implement modifications that improve the vehicle.

The shame of it. Eye won't tell anyone.
and what is worse, my grandparents (both sides) came from Wales!
Blokey int shop said first of all, as the pooter really is tatty, (apart from the fecked up keyboard, the power input is held together with packing tape, the hinges are visible, the screen surround is cracked in two places, the mousepad thing is worn, the battery holding in clips, one has bust, etc) it would be simpler to transfer the drive into another pooter.
So I left it with him to do, having paid for the new pooter.
When I went back to see him he was saying it would be too tricky to swap the drives and there was a risk of "deletions" so he would just transfer all my stuff from one drive to the other.
So I left him with it again.
The new drive is not SSD, it says HDD on the label. So like my old one only less storage.
As I mentioned I already have the WD My Drive thing which functions fine, I have a 90 gig separate hard drive and as i am keeping the old pooter I can keep the originals of my old files on it as now, having uninstalled the keyboard, it works fine with the plug-in keyboard.
Like a kid buying a car, I have been a mug. fortunately it hasn't cost me much and I have bought myself the time I need to be able to think about all this a bit harder.
Every day is a school day!
And thanks again for all your help.
The bloke in the shop flogged me the new pooter on the strength of saying "It's Windows 10". Well it is, but only cos he or someone upgraded it from Windows 7.
Here is a review of it, and I cannot believe I paid £220 for it secondhand albeit upgraded to Windows 10. Ont net they are only going for about £130 max, here are the specs and a revierw https://www.cnet.com/reviews/acer-aspire-5336-review/
Compared to my Samsung notebook NP550P5CL https://www.itproportal.com/reviews/laptops-pcs/samsung-series-5-np550p5c-review/
Reckon I got stung a bit.
Anyway, the long and the short of it is I don't do either gaming or video editing, so I think that is a good thing!!
So your real handle is Fred@Dibnah#uk!!!!!

Good evening from avonmouth
As I have not crossed the bridge yet the weather should be nice and warm for the night.
