My new/used laptop recovered from my SIL. I imaged the Win-7 load to the new SSD, verified it was working properly, then installed Mint 18.1 on the old HD. Piece of cake! This laptop is an ASUS A53U. It's low power and slow with W-7. Mint gives it a new life. Very nice.

Moving to Linux is a good move.
 
Great choice! You will love Linux! Only thing I would have done differently would have been to put Linux on the new SSD and keep windows on the old one.

This is just a temporary situation. Since this is a spare laptop, I may try something else. Whatever i finally end up with, It will be on the SSD.
