I have Dell Inspiron 3542
i7 4200U 2.0Ghz
8Gb Ram
1 Tb HDD
Windows 10 Home edition
I have formatted my laptop 2 times in succession. 1st time i have installed Win 10 from bootable Pd and 2nd then I have reset my PC to have another clean install and formatted all drives. The reason of formatting twice was I wanted to make sure everything is cleaned so system wont be slow. Even after this I am noticing a slow laptop. Even now when barely any program is installed it lags and process commmands slowly. I have searched on net for this topic and came to know most probable cause is Hdd failure but I can't recognize symptoms of errors except slow running. Please suggest me what to do.
(Additional : when I was resetting laptop it took around 7-8 hrs to complete, but installation of windows was quick though)
