Strollin - you're a valued member of this forum and I REALLY am not looking to argue with you
The reasons I said the make/model are unimportant are:
1) Post #3 states the size and free space on the hd
2) Of most importance with this type of issue is the health of the hd, what Disk Mgt has to say, what an app such as treesize has to say, how much space is being eaten in the temp folder (easily discerned with treesize), and IMO the presence or absence of malware
3) And of course the Bing issue (stated by the OP in post #3 and and explanatory link posted by patio)
Again my friend, not looking to enter into a disagreement or a lengthy argument - just explaining why, based upon my experience, the above factors are more important (at least to me) than computer specs.
