it's easy job for me, but not so easy for tranquility, so for easy install, windows 10 would be his OS
I could do this as well. But I *DESPISE* regedit. I once bricked a whole computer because of some errant keys that I put under the wrong entry. ever since then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE gives me PTSD feelings.

Back to the task at hand, tranquility, I believe the local consensus is to upgrade to an SSD and install Windows 10 from the .iso file AFTER you have backed up your word and photo files to some backup media (I'd recommend a USB stick, personally).
