So when my PC starts up it takes a long time for it to even load the windows bar thing in, is it my hdd? my drivers? its a brand new hdd... so... any thoughts at all? is it the hardware or software?

Those might also help...another thing is to look in startup and make sure there aren't any unneeded programs. If comparing your rig to others, good probability they are using an SSD for the OS and primary apps. Your drive (older tech) will be much slower than an SSD and will probably take a full minute or two to boot into Win

1)Check the boot order, put the HDD at the top of the list.

2)Check the bios for settings like Intel fastboost.

3)Doing some maintenance on the drive can increase the boot up time. But if its slow before it even accesses windows then its possible that your system is having some issues booting normally. Check the boot up codes in the bottom right corner of your screen or reseat your RAM.

Not quite sure how to do that last one (Not reseat the ram.) but I tried everything else and it didnt seem to work, also its still kinda slow when you try to open google for the first time. Not sure whats wrong? is it the hard drive? should I get a SSD?

Yes it is a new installation of windows 10. hmmm, I'm not 100% sure, The drivers were really difficult for me to get, so I'm not 100% sure.. And I probably don't have the latest update of bios.

So would you suggest an ssd? also windows has been a black screen when i started my pc once or twice and i had to restart it to fix that but it was all fine.. Also is it just this HDD? or are they all the same?
