I bought an HP laptop with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD drive for a colleague to run Win 10 and a fairly simple VFP9 app I wrote and it is blisteringly fast - but it is only running the one app, there is a browser and Office on it so that my VFP app can access a bit of automation but nothing else.
I was so impressed I bought a 512GB SSD for my desktop machine. I partitioned it into a system drive and data drive with the main files I use on it. The data I only used rarely was kept on the 2TB hard drive. I noticed some improvement when I did a timing test but it still seems to take an age to boot but that could be because it inherited all the crap that was already clogging the boot. I really must re-install a clean version of Windows but I'm afraid that I won't be able to find all the install discs for some of the stuff I use occasionally - like VFP :-) John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 > Well, I've been talking about it for a couple years now.
