[SOLVED] Laptop At 100% Disk Usage All The Time

[HyprFox]

I have had my laptop since like 2013 or 2014 and it was fine until like 2018 and 2019 when it started using 100% disk the whole time it was on. I scanned the laptop for viruses and found none. Most of the time its Norton Security and the system itself using up most of the disk (usually between 0.5 - 3 MB/s each) but not always. Not sure what is causing this and help would be appreciated since I kinda want to start using the laptop again.

Swap in a SSD and enjoy.

I have an old laptop that was at 100% CPU usage, 100% disk usage and almost 100% Ram usage.

Upgraded it to a 256GB SSD, 8GB of ram instead of 4GB. The CPU still is at 100% most of the time because it's a Celeron Dual Core but that's to be expected from a weak CPU like that.
