Thanks all for your advice. I firmly believe in the KISS principle, so the less steps the better, esp since I"m an IT noob. Given that I could get a SSD for <$100? and a decent laptop is supposedly higher than my $500 budget, I'd rather go w the former. I think that I should do the following then? Please lemme know if I'm missing something:
1. just try to save whatever data I want onto another storage (to hopefully avoid getting an external case)
2. get a new USB drive to install the Win10 stuff
3. buy a SSD and do the physical replacement
4. switch it back on and insert the USB drive to install Win10
PRESTO, done and done?
