Your pic shows that you have the drive partitioned into your C: and E: drives.  Have you tried doing a disk cleanup on them?  Since you have it partitioned, you would need to do the cleanup on both partitions since the machine sees them as separate drives.  Then try to do a defrag on them as well and see if that doesn't help.  You would have to do the defrag as separate drives also.

I don't think that it's your processor or anything that's slow, I think upgrading to an ssd might help.

Your hard drive seems fine to me.  If anything, it's a bit cold - it would be best to keep it between 30c and 40c for best long term life.  See the research Google made here https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en//archive/disk_failures.pdf , section 3.4

 

Defragment your hard drives and consider configuring your page file to a fixed size (8-16 GB) before defragmenting, so that once it's set to that size, it won't fragment or be moved to random other places on your hard drive.

For defragmentation, O&O Defrag (shareware or evaluation) is very good. If you want something freeware Defraggler is decent.
