After asking for your valuable comments under this subject, I'm Thinking of Changing My System[^], it is finally up and running, and I am very pleased with the result.
The most striking improvement is opening VS Community 2015. Under my old machine, to open VS to the point where I can choose a project to work on took over 7 minutes. The new machine opens it in just on 30 secs. An improvement or what!!
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to help me make my final system choice. I would particularly like to thank OriginalGriff for suggesting AOMEI Backupper. That did a great job transferring the system off the old HD to the SSD.

That'll be the SSD!
It so quick on loading apps, that I tend to close them when I've finished with them, and re-open them when I need them. Before the SSD, if I opened Paint Shop Pro X6, I'd keep it open because it took a minute or so to load. Now? X6 (and X8) are around 6 or 7 seconds!

Another old, self-specced machine which was very slow. A very good reason to replace it.

For a minute there I thought you might be plugged in to our corporate network. 7 minutes is about right for a reboot on my office system  .

The 7 minutes was just to start Visual Studio; Windows only took 3.5 minutes to open. Now it almost takes me longer to type in my password.

I did that once, it freaks people out... 
Sitting in the back of the class is a nice strategy.
Although I've been sleeping in the front desk as well.
I can't recommend falling asleep while taking notes, your handwriting gets smaller and ends in a straight line right across the page.
Or falling asleep on small college desks. My arm fell off and I nearly ended on my neighbors lap.
Also don't fall asleep while talking, you'll say some pretty weird sh*t like "I want to leave, but all the sinkhole's are hidden." Nice detail, "hidden" and "clogged" are the same word in the Netherlands, so I may have meant "clogged", but that made no sense in the context 
What's NEVER a good idea is being called to read for the class, then wake up violently and shout "WHO!?" throughout the class
Just some tips from the pro

I never had the opportunity to sit at the back - I had a reputation that went before me, so every teacher asked me - not so politely - to take my seat in the first row, in front of the teacher...

It's people like you that enable people like me, thanks! 
I sit in the back AND the teacher is more occupied watching you than watching me
