holiday parental i.t. dept, reporting for duty (part 2)

My relatives are divided into those with practically no interest in technology, aside from maybe an e-reader and a PAYG mobile, and those who have owned some kind of computer for over 30 years, yet still don't know WTF they are doing, but won't ask anyone for help. In the latter group is a relative who's had a new Win8 laptop for the last 4 months but still hasn't got to grips with it, despite buying one of those thick Dummies 14-in-one books on Win8. So they're still using, at the same time, their 3 year old Win7 laptop that makes a noise like quadcopter. Refurbishing laptops is a big part of my actual 9-5 job. So I'd get to work on that with a can of compressed air, perhaps more RAM, swap out the HDD for an SDD maybe, reinstall Win7, maybe dual boot some flavour of Linux. But no, because this person will not admit to not knowing everything. Although in this case I dislike them intensely, so wvs.

Also, the Win7 laptop has so much adware and other crap installed on it, when IE is running, the top half of the screen is toolbars.

Oh and said relative keeps putting off running Java Update for some reason, even though it would take five minutes at most.
