I have two pcs at home on Win 7 at home. OS on SSD and Data on HD. Both reinstalled clean. I dreaded the idea since I had a lot of software, but listed directories to determine what existed. It turned out that a lot of programs I simply did not use, and I only had to reconfigure / personalize...

PP brings up a good point. Sounds like the​ 8.1 is an accident but you want to keep it? Why? Note you could run one on the SSD, and run the other (for grins) in a VM. What OS would you prefer to keep?

You are of course entitled to your opinion. The mouse always works for me.... it is the programmable buttons that I have to wait for, which makes it not perfect but not quite in the "suck" category. Note that a year ago I would have completely agreed with you but the Razor Synapse 2.0 software...

Not sure I understand the technical nature of the problem. She has physicsl access to the modem,

Holy crap! Those drives are packed! I would definitely replace both. SSD for OS, probably at least 256 mb but 512 mb if you can afford it. Move data and my documents to second drive and but 3 to 6 Tb, depending on your budget. If SSD was small, consider reinstalling applications on terrabyte...
