Sounds like something was hogging the ram and just needed turning off. The standard of support in shops really pisses me off. These idiots pretending to be experts really make running a PC seem like voodoo when most often quite simple things can solve issues.

I haven't updated it manually. Unless it updates itself behind the scenes it's still the same one from three or four years ago.

Does the surface have a keyboard?
Seperate purchase. Surface GO comes with Windows 10 S installed. Its a competitor OS to chromebook. You can upgrade to full fat Windows 10 if you want with Surface GO.

He’s 7 so not really bothered about gaming too much but I imagine Minecraft can be demanding. He has a Lenovo tablet and i wasn’t concerned about them until I read this thread.

Thanks. AO calling it a laptop and showing a keyboard in the pictures was more than a little misleading then.
