Seems like drunk kos has been hitting eBay. A 256gb mx100 and an adapter thing for the did drive turned up today.
Windows installed in 10 minutes 36 seconds (from a Kingston usb3 stick). Removing old hard drive (stuck screw) and working out how to boot from USB took almost an hour.
Just done a reboot and from clicking restart and having a usable desktop (including choosing os and entering password) was 36 seconds. Not too shabby!
I vaguely remember being pissed off in the pub on Friday afternoon cos my laptop took about 20 minutes (beer time, not real time) to boot up ('working' 'lunch').
Sadly because it was drunk kos buying, he bought from Dabs outlet in eBay. For 6 quid more than the drive is on Dabs.com. And slower delivery. I think I need to hide my eBay password :$

On a side subject, I've found that one of the benefits of having a wife is that I buy far less useless tat nowadays.
