@@BrueComputing Just an update. I eventually bought myself a SanDisk 3D Ultra SSD and a cheap £5 cable to clone it from my laptop. I used a free software called Macrium Reflect and it took about 50 minutes to clone just over 200GB of OS and data to my new SSD . The difference between the old cheap Seagate HDD and the new SanDisk SSD is astonishing, so much faster etc. So simple to do also, the hardest part was actually getting the laptop opened up without breaking anything, a bit fiddly and tricky but OK with a bit of patience. Many thanks.
