Hi there, helping a friend and his 4 GB RAM laptop out. His mother won't allow him to get another OS as I suggested, so we're stuck with Windows 10.

Maybe boot a fast OS from an external SSD? So the harddisk can stay untouched.

This is a good idea. You don't even need an external SSD, you can use a simple USB drive as well. I've done this for a long time with an old laptop and a lightweight Linux Mint distro (although you can probably have something even more lightweight on there)
