I bit the bullet a few years ago and went from a PC to a Mac near looked back, cost a fortune but a lot more reliable

What type of PC are we looking at here, is it a lap top or a desktop type machine?

It could well be worth fitting a new hard drive if it is complaining of storage problems. Drives are pretty cheap and easy to fit. You should be able to restore Windows to it, a fresh install then copy over any data from the old drive.
On the other hand, formatting the drive you have and doing a fresh install may sort things out as well.

Difficult things to diagnose over the internet, Do you know any computer people local that could have a look?

I am suspicious of the hard drive. Can just about sort a transfer of data. Don't mind £30-40 as long as it's that. I used to be good but struggle now!

Any shops reccommeneded who give advice to buy from?

Went to my local pc shop, much intake of breath etc.
Had another go and I think managed to reload w10.
One problem was drive 1 not found etc. After many passes, I realised I have a drive 0 and no one! Switched it off trying to find and seems well for now.
