Thanks to the enquirer who pointed out that these X1s run better on Windows 10.  I fitted a new 120GB SSD and installed Win 10 Pro (for which the TP has a licence) and have to agree that W10 is faster and has a smaller footprint (27.5GB for OS + MS Office) and also some screens look better because W10 handles scaling better than W7.  I'm now uncertain if I will keep this OS for the improved performance or if I will revert to W7 which I am told handles privacy issues better, but anyway you were right - thanks for the advice.
