Have you considered putting Ubuntu (easiest Linux to install but there are loads of others) on it instead of Windows? For the purposes you describe it would do what you want and is usually dead easy to install, free, and likely to run quicker than any Windows version.
You could always ditch it and start again if you didn't get on with it, or it didn't "just work" on your laptop; it probably would though.
Just a thought in case you weren't aware.
