Take the new PC into the house and connect with a short cable and see what happens.

1.5m from PC to switch - the switch is in the observatory. The 20m gigabit link from Obs to house is fine.

I wondered the same, but by switching the cable like I did, from old PC to new PC (old PC running at gigabit) I figure I have negated that possibility
Thank you both,
