Hi All
Pleased with this so passing it on. I have old laptop windows 7 etc a bit slow so use ccleaner but slows down again in a few weeks etc. I used a software tool Rufas to create a boot usb stick with ubuntu 20.04 on it. You then boot from the usb stick . You are then given various options . I chose to make a partition on the hard disc so you can use Linux or the old windows 7. It works very well. Very quick very responsive. It come with all the basic things you need wp ,fire fox ,file management. I added Google Chrome. Very very pleased gives a new lease of life to old laptop. You can even use the old windows files across the partition from the ubuntu side.
