@easyt50, I went with option A.
Just seamed to be the best overall.
The SSD was in split up into 8 partitions by Windows so I used Gparted to delete them all and then ran the live USB to install.
Except for the system being VERY slow after idol overnight, all is well and purring like a kitten. The sluggishness was resolved by a reboot.
The whole system is working MUCH faster than Windows.
