Well just to give an update and bring this to a close.
Windows loaded successfully and I have managed to transfer over all my files - music, phots documents etc.
Mark kindly offered to get me a download for the Office 2013 which I had on my previous disk. However it is confession time.......
I trailed through all my old emails and found the purchase for my Office 2013. I ocntacted microsoft help and eventuallly got talking to a human who asked me to send him a screenshot of my purchase email which I did.
He then said to me what happens if you click on the download link in the email.......... do'h!!
So thanks to Mark and TnE for all your help, hopefully, one day , this and the previous thread will maybe help someone with siilar issues.
Thanks again, I'm now away to make some spreadsheets for the hell of it!!
(and the SSD is so fast compared to the previous HDD)
