Windows 10: Windows running slow

My All in one PC is having IntelR Core TM i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07 GHz processor. It has installed memory RAM of 4 GB, 64 bit OS, x64 based processor.

It has a storage of 500 GB on ST500DM002-1BD142 ATA Device on 3.5 inch HDD.


I recently did a clean install no old files retained.


Still the computer hangs. Programs in use are edge, Teams, outlook etc.


Deleting temp files helps at times.


If I remove the HDD and fresh install Windows on 2.5 inch 250 GB SSD, would it help me have a good PC to work on?

Are there other alternatives too?

Kindly advise.


Regards

Amit.
