Still going slow watching it, but you know how it was before. When you say the CD you mean manufacturer's CD with drivers and software that came with this PC which probably are outdated drivers and software for Windows 10. If Hard Drive is holding up for now putting in updated drivers may help you even more, but i still suggest you look into a new Hard Drive and backup any important files now. Need help installing updated drivers like preinstalled let me know. Another thing can slow down system is amount of startup software being loaded during the boot up, sure Gigabyte has some software it installed from this CD.
Yes check startup tab in task manager to see what is starting up, if want to post a screen shot for me to see. Look in notification area see what shows there besides Network, sound and time. Gigabyte tends to give you mothrboard software which i feel is useless to run and startup. As far as Hard Drive they are not expensive these days and i would choose a Western Digital, but we can go into that further and you live in the U.K. i would give you certain specs to look for mattering to your needs of also space on a drive.
Tell you right now and if you can not find it in the program do it in task manager. Disable uTorrent startup, can disable CCleaner monitoring within CCleaners settings, Razer Synapse can disable here not needed to start, Steam can be disabled if you open Steam and look in settings again not needed to start, not sure of what Flux Software you have, also gamecon 780 looks like headset software look in software most likely not needed to start with PC, input mapper for a game controller have to look into needs of this startup, look in software itself first, Java Update scheduler is a resource hog truthfully would not use Java to begin with, but if you can remember to check monthly it is a waste to have it run every boot since it only checks monthly.
Realtek is starting up to show the icon in notification area, either right click icon in notification area open Realtek Audio Manager look for setting to remove this icon in notification area as it's not needed to start for it to function for audio, unless you like having it there. Use Skype a lot, do not think needs to start on every boot and stay running, NVIDIA items some might be due to installing GeForce Experience when you installed Video card drivers which again is useless service for auto updates and game optimizations and a startup. Can uninstall NVIDIA driver software and reinstall make sure to not select GeForce Experience.
Not sure of the size Hard Drive you need, here is US company shows some WD, as long as you go with 7200RPM.Some say go Solid State Drives, if have means to spend more it is a good investment for speed and performance.Only have an intel i3 so not sure how much of a boost it is going to give you, but of course better then a HDD.
