Hi,
After some recommendations/advice on this spec for a workhorse laptop to backup my desktop. Will be for general day to day use / when I'm not sitting at my desktop and want to do the same things including photo editing (lightroom) but nothing too strenuous. Apart from that will be web browsing, using Microsoft apps, streaming music and videos. Budget is £700

Not sure but this could save a bit of cash. Have you ever used GIMP, it is very good free open source software for image manipulation and works on Linux.

If you used that instead of Lightroom you would not need Windows and that would save close on £100.

You would need to check GIMP does what you need but there is a good chance and as it is free and cross platform it will cost nothing to try out on current machine.
