Sorry not overly tech savvy when it comes to screen types. What's the problem with TN panels and what type is generally better to look for?

Because it's cheaping out. But even on a £430 laptop 1366 x 768 is ridiculous when you can buy budget smartphones with 1920 x 1080 screens these days, this is certainly a frustrating aspect that laptop manufacturers have held onto screens that have been around for a good decade now.
On the other hand it's adequate because I have a 250 G4 in good nick for sale with the i3 5005U. Someone sling me like £170 and it's yours lol

TN panels are cheaper and have a faster refresh speed then IPS screens so it does not need to die but I agree that 1366x768 does need to go.

What does "downgrade" mean? Can you return it to Windows 10?

comes with Windows 7, yes you can upgrade to Windows 10
What is the best way to expand the storage capacity on something like this? Can you install a second HDD or do most people just connect external drives via USB or wifi? I would like a SSD laptop but don't want to be limited on stirage. thanks

Yes, this. Replace CD/DVD drive with HDD/SSD caddy if 256GB isn't enough for you.

Poor viewing angle, colour reproduction isn't great compared to IPS panels.
I have a laptop with an IPS panel and a monitor with a TN panel, you can defiantly tell the difference; with IPS producing better colours.
Only reason I have a TN monitor is because of the higher refresh rates.
