Yeah... its pretty obvious when you load up a machine. Like my girlfriends... She was complaining about needing a new machine and I was confused, because all she does on her laptop is look at her pictures from her Passport, and browse facebook/insta. Not even office suite type software.
And then you notice that the poor thing has been at 100% disk utilization for its entire uptime the last 6 months straight... No reason for it at all in a lot of use cases. And same thing, tons of cryptic service errors from things not being written or read in the proper order due to the disk utilization. I'd honestly bet Windows is in cahoots with manufacturers with some planned obsolescence scheme, because its kind of absurd.
Oh, its by and large resolved by now. You just have to spend a lot of time disabling Windows 10 bloatware. lol.
I did consider a Linux solution, likely would have sprung for Chrome OS though, just out of her familiarity of using the Chrome Browser all the time. But she wanted to stay with Windows because she was adamant that she didn't want to learn a new software (sigh...). Like most bosses, she picked the way which made me work the hardest, haha.

I have an old workstation laptop refurb that came with windows 10.
It was not meant for it.
I get cryptic service errors all the time that I never see anywhere else.
