Hey all.
So about a year ago, I built my own gaming PC and I installed windows 8.1 through a flash drive before eventually upgrading to Windows 10. Please keep in mind that I used a 1TB HDD as my storage. Everything was working fine until I started noticing that my disk usage would skyrocket to 99%-100% pretty much all the time. At first, I looked at the disk usage on the task manager, it became apparent that most of the disk usage was due to underlying processes since the top listed process was only 1MB/s. I've done plenty of clean installs that seem to work for maybe a couple hours max, but unfortunately it always returns to 100% disk usage and my computer is unbearably slow.
Do you guys think that replacing my HDD with an SSD or another HDD will improve the performance or will the issue reside?
Thanks.
