Can't find a solution for this thing

So I've been experiencing poor multitasking and poor performance overall on my 1000$+ pc rig, idk what is the problem that is slowing windows 8.1 but my hdd is at 100% load most of the time, when i start a browser, or when I start anything at all, god forbid trying to open Photoshop while opening a pic with windows viewer, I'm very fed up with the low performance and opening times of programes and random freezes I get, even when I get a problem it takes around 10 secs for task manager to load and tell me that the hdd is at 100%. I've searched and done a few stuff to improve and fix this problem but i've had no luck at all. Do I just get an SSD or is there another solution for this. My only drive is the WD10EZEX.

maby backup evrything of any value to you and factory reset?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

how full is your HDD?

how long since your last clean windows install?

what are the specs of the computer?

did you put together the computer yourself?

It's pretty full

 

I moved from win7 to 8.1 maybe 3 months ago

I don't think i can back up anything, I don't have the space

when a disk gets full, it tends to lose performance, also, having several partitions on a disk also makes it suffer.

 

consider getting rid of some files and merging some partitions (merging partitions will erase at least one of the partitions -not sure if both)

 

algo if you upgraded the SO instead of making a fresh install the performance is affected (my windows 10 VM takes for ever to boot since i've been upgrading since the first build)

 

good luck

The best way to measure the quality of a piece of code is "Oh F*** "s per line

It was a fresh install, I'll think about merging partitions but i don't have another  drive to copy to rn, thanks
