I have asked to look at the above, which sort of runs, but in treacle

respond 5 minutes later.

It has Win10 installed on it, it seems to have a reasonable spec.

It's a Celeron N2840 CPU and the whole laptop sold for 200 quid in 2014. It
has a cpubenchmark.net scope of 1000, compared to a decent modern laptop
score of 12000.

You can try, but I wouldn't expect much better than treacle.
