Thanks for your reply, T&E. I'll be doing what you say. My brother-out-law, as he's been called, is only here for the weekend and I won't see him again for another month. I'll get him to decide how much he wants to spend and I'll start doing it next week.
In the meantime, it might be helpful if I tell you more about the machine. It's a Packard Bell EasyNote TK87, with a Pentium P6100, 4Gb DDR3 memory and 500Gb hard disk. It came with Windows 7 installed (we have the product key) and he recently did the free upgrade to Windows 10. We've downloaded all of his important data files.
