Its specs

It has 8GB of RAM and 1TB of 7200RPM HDD. How much C do you have now ?

 

With ONLY 8GB of RAM, machine has to swap/page data from memory (RAM) to storage (HDD) a lot at why HDD is always busy specially when you put a lot of data/files on C:

 

1. RAM A quick way to improve is to upgrade RAM to 32GB using 4x8GB compatible RAM such as

It has 1 stick now, you only need 3 more.

 

1. STORAGE: It has one free M.2 socket 3, key M therefore you can add M.2 NVMe SSD to this slot then move Windows and Apps/Program to it, use HDD for user data only.

 

Regards.
