Hi khalidenoaman,

I’m Rey, your Windows 10 Advisor.

I understand you are having a CPU usage 100% when you did an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

I had experience this before and fix it temporarily but I was ended to do a clean installation.

The reaosn why, since there will be several issues especially hardware configuration are designed orinigall base from the Windows 7 system.

YOu may disable things but it's a total different if you'll do a clean instalation instead.

Solutions to Fix the High CPU Usage

Step 1: Search for Services and open it.

Step 2: In the window, find Application Management and right-click it. Then select Restart.

Solution 2: End the Processes that Cause High CPU Usage

Step 1: Search for Task Manager and open it.

Step 2: Click the CPU column header to sort the processes by CPU usage and check which processes cause your CPU becoming higher.

Step 3: Right-click the process that consumes lots of your CPU and then you should click End task to finish this process.
