Well, had a read up of Linux variations and think I understood some of it 
Thought I would try to make a USB Memory stick for one Linux version (Mate) and try that in the Laptop. Created the disk, or so I hoped on this PC, and tried to boot from it on the Laptop. But it wont do that. In the Laptop W7 that it runs it, it can see the USB stick and that can be selected in the BIOS as the boot device. But it only flashes and then defaults to the Internal HDD and runs W7 as usual.
A picture shows whats on the USB stick.
Any ideas welcome ... seems no point in getting an SSD until I have a something to boot from?
thanks Gary
