Extremely Slow

[arnekick]

Hi i have an old pc wich takes forever to start up or open anything.

It has Always been in a very moist room. If i take a look in taskmanager the cpu usage is between 0-20% and the ram usage is around 40%.

I am thinking the hdd has become very slow or something but is there any way to check this?

 

These are the specs of the pc https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/471250/hp-prodesk-400-g3-mt-p5k00ea-(nl)/specificaties/.

You can try using crystaldisk mark or userbenchmark which directly compares it to other identical drives.

If i were you though i'd just get a cheap ssd, install windows 10 on it and call it a day

again, userbenchmark checks that

The HDD is the bottleneck on desktop performance. Get an SSD and install the OS on that and you are going to have a much much snappier experience
