Greetings,
I've been looking for answers to improve the performance of Windows 10 on the T-410 (type 2516-A11). I bought this laptop with the top i7 VPro Core processor at the time because I wanted something fast that would remain fast as time went on, at least 10 years. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and it worked well, but since moving to Windows 10, it runs terribly slow. Everything takes 25 seconds and longer just to respond to mouse clicks. I have increased the battery/power settings to run at maximum, I've removed/replaced virtual memory, cut out most of the programs at start up, changed the Advanced Settings to Best Performance, turned off search index to reduce HDisk activity, and did several other things (except unable to stop Windows Installer) to reduce the harddrive activity yet the harddrive continues to run hard too. I tried creating another Admin account and it seems a little better but still not tolerable.
It doesn't give me the option to back out of the OS and the Lenovo Recovery to go back to Windows 7 Pro won't work.
I see where others have had the same issues on the Thinkpad T-410 but I have been unable to find answers.
It is very frustrating to have this machine and not be able to use it. Thanks in advance for anyone that can provide some help.
