Opinions on ChromeOS
ChromeOS offers a fresh experience with its lightweight design, but it may not fully resolve the issues you faced on Windows 10. If your main concerns are performance or stability, it could help—but it depends on your specific needs and setup.
Chrome OS performs well but has issues in other areas. Downloads are limited to the Chrome Web Store. The only available application is the Chrome browser itself.
ChromeOS doesn’t speed up your HDD. If you’re looking for a smoother feel on an older PC, disable all Windows 10 animations and background effects or try a lightweight Linux distribution.

ChromeOS works well when you're comfortable with its limitations. It isn't meant to replace a full operating system, which is why features like Photoshop aren't available. Gaming isn't a priority, except for some light Android titles. Now it supports GeForce Now and Stadia thanks to Google, so with a solid internet connection you can enjoy decent gaming experiences. For everyday tasks like office work and casual browsing, it's quite useful.
It's unlikely this 80GB drive works properly—it might already be faulty. Since it hasn't been replaced, the manufacturer won't support it.
