I have no idea what version of Windows you have. From my limited recent experience with MS OS’es, Windows 10 seems solid and efficient. I’d follow the advice of saving relevant data to an external HD, install Windows 10 from scratch, and then reinstall whatever apps you really need. If you have enough horsepower, install VirtualBox and try out a few Linux distros for endless fun :-) After a while, you might very well want to reverse the process: install a Linux version as the base OS, install VirtualBox on that, and install Windows 10 on that. If you do go that way, you can use VMware’s free converter (www.vmware.com/products/converter) to save your physical Windows 10 installation as a virtual machine, which can then be run with VMware Player or VirtualBox under Linux after wiping and installing a distro from scratch.
