I would just add one thing and that is to let Windows do its thing when upgrading/installing W10.
Leave it alone and don't be impatient.
It may take a while although with my upgrade to SSD it the main install was done in 30 minutes
and then it needed another hour or so to do all the updates. (always let Windows do the updates)
Also, update to the latest Edge and use Microsoft security.
I used Bing for the search engine but Edge allows you to change this to Google etc should that be your preference.

Then if you have upgraded to a SSD from a Hard Drive, you have a laptop, and you have a very little use for a DVD drive (if there is one),
buy a HD caddy (£5 eBay) and swap out the DVD drive for the HD. (you will have get inside your laptop to do this)
Re-format the HD (having backed up all your files first) and use for all your files with the operating system (windows 10 ) and other apps on the SSD.
(Ensure that SSD has Windows 10 fully installed before installing the HD into the DVD slot)
At then end of all this a real high speed PC/Laptop.
