Thanks for replies everybody, will get an SSD in the futire when funds allow to help speed up boot time, cut out drive noise etc.

Hope the reinstall is going well Zero, if its any comfort even with doing a system image, I still find I have a do a reinstall every few years anwyays as windows eventaully slows down and its easier to start from scratch again, a fresh reinstall.

Probably a good idea to do an image just after reinstalling windows and drivers (and another image when you have your programes reinstalled and keeping both) so that when you do come to reinstall a few years down the line, you can use that early image of windows again.
