Where would I go looking for linux os? Much thanks for all your help aswell.

Ok, so I just ran the windows defender/security reset and it did things the recovery tool did not. I have my fast restart time now, so I'm pretty happy everything seems to be buttery smooth. I restarted 3 times already and its been like 5 mins. so I'm ok with that. but I'm not sure what it removed besides osrunescape. and like 2 other things.. not the synaptics pointing device driver that I'm almost sure I don't need.

I have been curious about linux. granted like I said I'm no expert just exploring. I'm going through windows defender/windows security now and it says fresh start. is that the same as recovery/reset? I think I'm going to give it a shot either way since I'm going to work and won't be here to wait for it.

Ok, so I cloned the hdd of the laptop to save money. total money spent here is about $70 because the aio was a handed down pc. I was thinking of doing a fresh install tbh I thought I took care of all the bloatware and random junk. but as also mentioned malware. i tried to download and run malwarebytes but couldn't run the program. what is the cheapest way to get a fresh copy of genuine win10?

Is it a problem with win10? Because it seriously takes this thing like a good 20-30 mins to restart! It's a clone actually of a laptop hdd ?? any fixes? I feel like the hdd I had in it would restart faster.

Ok, so I'm fairly new to the party my name is Jay and I have a fairly simple question. I've recently come in possession of a acer z3-715-ur55 that had no hdd. 4gb of ram and a Pentium g4400t. It's an all in one with a massive touchscreen. That I really enjoy to play oldschool runescape on. My problem is this.. I threw an old hdd in it from an old laptop and it turned right on.. it worked like a normal pc.. but I wanted more, so I ordered a 500gb hp ssd for around $50(us) and boot time from off to on, was impressive! But.. then I tried to restart.. not so much.. back to my original question. Why would my computer boot right up? But have a slow restart? It's not like it's updating everytime? Please any help? I'll give more info if needed. Also just got my other stick of ram and now I have 8gb, Still lagging.
