Now swap out the HDD and replace with the SSD. That should get you a

In my experience a ssd makes very little difference to the speed of
windows,

Depends on whether you have enough physical ram
to avoid the use of the swap file once its booted and
do more than just email and browsing.

however in the past I've probably already optismed Windows for performance
rather than looks.

And I don't normally reboot unless I have to,
An SSD makes a big difference to a full reboot.

Some real time activities of virus checkers can really slow down a machine
especially those for the Norton/Mcafee stables which i now regard as just
as bad as a virus itself.
