Marlin - Sounds more to me like a "browser hijack" redirecting your requests.. Try a different browser - Firefox, Google Chrome or if that's what you are using, try I.E. . If unsure, get "Malwarebytes" and try clearing the problem. Google "Malware removal"
Charlie, ref SSD upgrades - did the "two step", first upgrading two laptops to SSDs and then to Win10. Not sure what all the P&Ming is about 10, pretty smooth to me, and once I persuaded the second laptop to download 10, it was painless.. Two down, one to go (Nancy's ASUS notebook, slow, slow,slow). BTW used the free EASUS product to clone, worked great..
