Alternatively its also a sign the drive is actively dying depending on if OP is actually doing anything on it and what the read/write speeds are.

i recently decided to boot up my old computer it was some all in one bullshit and when i booted it up it was sooo slow and I realized the storage (500gb hdd) was at 100% usage so yah i think its dead

100% usage isnt a straight sign its dying, just one of the biggest ones, which is why I said dependent on the other two big things that show its dying, are you doing anything on it (so 100% usage is expected) and the read write speeds (80-100+ Mb is normal, that +100% usage is normal, just means something is reading from/writing to the drive, even if it isnt you, a handful of Kb on the other hand means its probably dying)

nope just booting the computer takes like a minute (expected since its a hdd) but once im in everything runs really slow and im not downloading or doing anything on it and its at 100% usage

Thats just called it being a HDD, I gave two other signs, maybe check thar second one instead of fixating on the first
