Client with a 10 year old laptop changed my mind about upgrades

Had a lady come in last month with a Dell from 2014. She said her old tech just works for her email and recipes. She was right. I threw in an SSD for $40 and it boots in 30 seconds now. Has anyone else had a client talk you out of a full system rebuild?

That old Dell probably has a spinning hard drive that's been slowly dying for years, most people don't realize how much those things slow down over time. Did she mention how much time she used to spend just waiting for things to load before you swapped the drive? I'm curious if she noticed the difference right away or if it took her a few days to realize she wasn't waiting around anymore.

@gavinwood my mom noticed the speed difference immediately with her old Dell.
