Hi, I have a hp notebook pc . It is performing very slow for a long time. tried every possible ways but not improved. pls suggest any other solution.


Intel core i3 3rd gen, 4GB RAM, 500 GB sata HDD, win 10 (1809)



getting stuck when opening applications, taking long time to come welcome screen and password box, taking time to open application.


found no malware, virus after scan. still slow.


I also have a query that If I do reset with keep my file option then will it go back to win 8.1 or it will reset back to win 10 1809 version as I upgraded frm 8.1 to 10.


How to confirm that my recovery partion contains win 8.1 or win 10?
