Personally and being a long time Toshy owner (of two) I just stuck a 120GB SSD and maxed out the RAM in both and installed an OEM and just back up loads of data to externals.

As Greg said the crapware that Toshiba put on is just insane and my machines now actually run better than the original set up because I had no end of problems with them until I did what I did.

I get a fair number of Toshy fixes too that area direct result of the rot on them.

Save yourself a lot of grief and go that way.:)
