 Old Vista laptop - VxFan
>> Also would it need a virus checker, there is an old version, 2014, of AVG. Just update this or look for another freebie?

Ditch AVG. That was the one thing that slowed my old Vista laptop down. As soon as I removed it and used Microsoft's own virus protection instead, the difference in speed was amazing.

btw, MS stopped supporting Vista back in April 2017.

edit, it looks like MS also stopped supporting MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) too for Vista.
