  Slow to do what, specifically?

  Numbers?  How many seconds to do ....?

  One of the single most impressive improvements to system responsiveness you can do is to upgrade to SSD storage.  I believe something like the Crucial MX100 500 GB SSD can be purchased now for around $200.

  It is your storage.  Windows 8.1 moves an immense amount of data.  In my opinion, it is almost unusable on a Western Digital Black drive, let alone a Green.  Your biggest piece missing here is an SSD for sure.  I would recommend getting a Samsung PRO drive.  250 GB is what seems to be comfortable for all of my programs.  I would still use the 1TB drive to store all your documents/movies/music etc.  Also, I would use "File History" to back up the SSD to the 1tb drive.  When SSDs fail, they fail instantly and with no prior warning, and it sucks.

  Hi,

  the only thing I could think of (hardware related) is to buy SSD and install OS on it.

  For data you can use your SATA HDD.

  If you said that you have tried with different OS, then I don't think it is OS itself, because you installed a fresh one.

  How old is this PC? Is it custom made?

  Compatibility could be the reason. If the PC components are under warranty, I would take PC to the shop and ask them to run full diagnostic and replace any component which might be faulty or not compatible.

  PC specs looks good, it should run Windows 8.1 smoothly. And since you re-installed the OS, I don't think its software, but hardware more likely.
