Ran a long test with Seatools for Windows which passed. Tried to update the 'Intel® 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller' driver, but again could not find an install for Windows 10. Tried to find the lastest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver, but could not find one to install for Windows 10. Double click on Windows Time and click on Properties. On the Services window, locate an entry labelled Windows Time in the Name column (See image below). Type services.msc in the Run command box and click on OK. Manually allocating the memory allocation Press Windows + R buttons on the Keyboard of your computer to bring up Windows Run command Window. I'm not sure if any of this has anything to do with the issue. The ethernet controller is the only driver that wasn't compatible with the upgrade and I figured I could live without that. I should also note that according to Dell, this laptop does not support Windows 10. I also noticed that whenever I search anything from the start menu, I always get the message 'We're getting search ready.' which makes me think the high disk usage may have something to do with indexing, I have tried disabling the Windows Search service which did not really solve any problems. Also I noticed the disk usage is always very high, even though the processes don't have that high of a transfer rate I noticed that it takes a long time to start up, it will hang on a black screen for probably 30-45 seconds. It wasn't the fastest to begin with, but it was still quite a bit faster when it was on Windows 7 than it is now with 10.
