can you link me to this guy please.

Ok in the dry but any hint of wet and your going offroad. Rather get a set of rainsports for similar money.

Just put in a cheeky low ball offer on eBay. Someone was selling for £60 and had 1 left. I'm amazed he accepted tbh.

250gb. We use them at work on our pcs and they run smoothly. I can literally use Samsung magic and the hdd dock to transfer all the info from one to the other and then just plug the new ssd in without having to do another fresh install of windows to.

Just managed to source a Samsung 850 ssd for £40 delivered

Seems ok now. I'm going to get an ssd and use the hdd I have now in place of the CD drive. Will run the OS and a few other programs from the ssd and have all pictures etc on the hdd. Is that a common thing to do?

I have perm disabled it mate. Seems to have been one of the issues so just left it turned off.

Will do when I get home mate. Thanks for your help

Right, I have left it on all day and not touched it, let it do it's thing and now it all seems back to normal. It must have just had a MASS of updates to do which was causing the disk drive to go mental. Either way, I think I'm going to drop an ssd into it to save having to go through this ever...

That sounds like a plan buddy. That would be great. Like I say, I'm not dumb on computers but some things are best left alone before I break the whole bloody thing lol.

Start-up is taking a long time aswell, it used to be instant.

I can't run 2 things at the same time. Is slow as he'll and has to think about opening things for ages.

Just completed the laptop reset and disk drive is still running at 90-100%. Have done a diskcheck and it says the drive is all ok. What a ballache.

Was brand new so was already there to install. I believe it is just stored on a seperate drive?

I see. Win10 came installed on this laptop, not as a disc. Does that mean I would need to buy windows again?

Thinking of putting an ssd in tbh. Has run perfectly well up until now. Not sure what has changed. Are they easy to install?

Well I clicked on get started and it has locked up the laptop lol

Lol @Simon998 simon99i was trying to be clever and troubleshoot it. I'm going to do what you said right now.

Or not. Lol. Disk usage back to 100% when the laptop is running absolutely nothing. I give up.

Sweet. Just a few little updates it's doing now and I think we're finally there.

All updates installed, defragged, malwarebytes done it's thing, turned off superfetch. Disc is now back down to normal and laptop is running a lot smoother. Thanks for all your help, it has been long lol. Are there any programs that you would say are a mist to have to keep everything running...

99%. God knows what it is trying to do lol. Has taken since 1pm to do this one. Can't wait to reboot to see if anything has worked lol.

Scrap that last post, just saw you can still run a manual scan after the trial. It god rid of 24 threats just now.

I've just got malwarebytes but I says it is a premium trial. Is there not a full free version available?

Ok, cheers. This is a painful process lol.

Just had a look on optimise drives and it is already 0% fragmented. What would your next step be?

Nice one mate. Currently preparing to install updates and is at 40% so will see what happens. Reboot and check to see what disabling superfetch has done. If nothing, I will defrag and try updates again.

Ok, now you have started something. How do I defrag and what the hell does that mean lol.

Right, that was enabled so have stopped it and disabled. Will just let this update finish as it's on 94% and will reboot and report back. Appreciate the help so far guys, thankyou kindly.
