What a great idea! I think I will swap the 500 g SSD to 1Tb SSD with windows 10. If it does not work, as Sandeep suggests,I will put the old SSD back and get a new machine!

I have been replacing the older drives with SSDs without problems in other machines. The one thing I have not had to replace is the power module. I do not know how difficult it will be.

It is interesting you suggest to block updates for 365 days. I have been faithfully updating my 10 computers every month!

Thank you for your suggestions.
