Windows 10: Poor Performance

I upgraded Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 10 years ago when it was first released and performance has been absolutely awful, I'd finally had enough a couple of days ago and decided to sacrifice my years of files and programmes to do a completely fresh reinstall of windows. Even now with a completely fresh install and practically no third party files or apps, basic navigation in file browser, start menu etc is laggy. Drivers are up to date.


With 3.6GHz Quad core processor, 8gb of RAM and GeForce GPU, why is Windows 10 so slow? Please help, someone!

:)

Let’s try to follow these methods below which can help us resolving this issue.

Method 1: Perform System Maintenance troubleshooter.

Method 2: Safe mode and clean boot.

Step 1:
