I bought my laptop on the cheap--used laptop from work. Dell Latitude E6410. Other than the U button being sticky it seems to do what I want. Except run properly. It likes to come out of sleep mode (have prior thread about that) and about once a month it decides it will restart and do software updates. Except it spends 20 plus minutes installing, only to spend 20 plus minutes uninstalling. Infuriating.
As I bought this used, with no discs, is my only option to buy a new copy of Win10 so it can be fresh installed? I keep hearing about how I really should get a SSD, it'll boot faster, blah blah blah; but I'm not sure it's worth it on this machine. Nor how to do that.
We have a family desktop so it's probably worth about $50, no more than $100, to me, to have a laptop. When I'm home I'm usually on a tablet.
