Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Have this simple laptop. Very painfully slow.  got a new Samsung SSD 500GB and patriot 8GB ram.

 

Made the Win10 recovery media, which was a hassle;  install the new HDD and removed one of the 2GB ram and put the 8GB ram in there.  boots and installs windows super fast. then goes online? and gets drivers, thats where everything begins to fall apart.

 

it installs a driver maybe? then blue screens out. But its really strange because the 1st time thru it did not.  I ran it and it was fast, I installed firefox and chrome then realized ohhh.  passwords, i didnt do anything to back those up.  then it got a BSOD and restarted. I re installed after deleting the partitions, does all the updates and gets to the first login page, 3 seconds and it gets BSOD, and that repeats for infinity

 

I removed the sdram, no difference. wondering if the HDD is defective or its a driver?  any ideas on drivers to use with an SSD drive? or any ideas to update this thing?  Thanks
