Thank you to all of you for your comments and links. I agree this is a wonderful forum everyone has been very helpful and very quick to reply to my newbie questions. It really is appreciated.
I think I will stick to some of the easier sounding suggestions regarding the Win 10 computer. I think I will "test" whether it will boot from the DVD/CD drive (which is an option where the USB is not showing) with an ISO of Win XP that I have to see if I get a message asking for the admin pw. If it does ask for one then I will progress to making the Plop ISO.
In terms of restore or not I think I will try going to an earlier restore point and see what has been removed (or not) then decide if this is sufficient or whether I should do a re-install.
Thanks again. I will keep the forum posted on my success.
