windows 10, hates mechanical drives?

[migles]

when building a computer for a dude, and using his old laptop hdd the i3 skylake build was extremly slow.. i noticed the HDD was always at 100% for a quick solution (as i didn't want to spend more time on it) i just told him to get an SSD which solved the issue...

now, i had built my computer, (i7-7700k) and using my old desktop mechanical drive which was working fine (it was a core 2 dual core computer) while installing windows 10 this thing took 1-2 hours (it reminds me of the old days of formating a computer back in the early 2000s, a whole day to format and install the OS)
and for booting into it, takes 10-20 minutes.. (after several times it seems to take 2-3 minutes now)
in my old desktop (the dual core) it took 10 seconds to boot

i am already throwing a conspiracy where windows 10 maked a deal with SSD companies lol

I'm running Win 10 on an old 1.8 " ZIP drive and it runs perfectly fine.
I've ran Win 10 on a SATA drive and it worked flawlessly.
Boyfriend had Win 10 running on a HDD and nothing went wrong.
Me lil brother has Win 10 on a SSD and his SSD went to shit.

It's likely to be the drive you got.
I wouldn't recommend using IDE drives as their slow as shit and loud as fuck.

Your drive is probably just slow. However, you should check Task Manager to see what's taking up all your resources.

Most likely HDD failure. I had the same problem on my laptop a while ago.

1) HDD Failure
2) Yeah, Windows 10 may hate them
3) Get Windows 7 It is Better™

You know, I hate to contradict things, but I made a very similar thread once. 6 pages of "windows 10 spies, telemetry, viruses because windows, get linux" and at the end, it was indeed a hdd failure. 10 people shut the fuck up on that day.

Well:
1) Too many applications run that suck up resources
2) Is is bad configuration(if possible)
3) Check for bad sectors
4) Is it properly formatted ™
5) HDD Failure™, might die Soon™, get Another™ One™.™

Your old desktop drive.. Out of a core 2 duo... Is running slow? Now isn't that weird?

Sorry, I had to. For real, though. Your hard drive is old and slow.
