In August of last year, I decided that my PC needed a needed format because it had been 5 years since I had installed Windows 7 Ultimate and also it was getting slower and slower. After the format, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 because I wanted to try it as an OS and also I knew that Windows 7 support was going to end sometime soon. I contacted Microsoft support and was able to carry on my Win7 license to Windows 10.

After the first boot, I really liked the animations and overall elegance of the OS, but my PC has been getting slower and slower ever since. It used to power up in a matter 1 min but after the Win10 install, it takes at least 2 mins. And also my PC has started to lag a lot. It takes ages to open a program, my disc usage is almost always at 100%. I have to wait at least 15 mins after powering up the PC for it to start working normally. There's always that noise inside my rig as if my PC is rendering a video, or doing some other heavy activity, but in fact, only the Chrome is open. While I'm in the middle of a game Windows 10 decides it's a great time to start the update of a program or do something else in the background and stutter and freeze my game. First I thought I might be a victim of PC mining, but it seems like that's not the case.

I have Googled and tried many things suggested by people to no luck. Any tips to speed up my PC will be appreciated.
