Upgraded Win7 to Win10 - now very slow boot-up and poor performance

Hi @br1anstorm,

Can you run these batch files:
Tuneup_plus_log.bat ─ Click here to go to the BSOD batch repository to download and run this batch file.
DiskParInfo.bat - Click here to go to the BSOD batch repository to download and run this batch file.

Post here the results

Have been away all day and now just catching up.

First, thanks to @Hazel123 for the follow-up and the comments on upgrade v clean install. My Samsung RF511 does indeed have i5 and 8 GB of Ram, and a 750 GB HDD. Normally I too like to have things clean and slick. But on this particular computer I have a lot of "stuff" - not just apps and files, but saved emails and other data. Sooner or later (and I hope not as a result of the machine breaking!) I will have to purge, clean, sort out old data and do a full and clean reinstall. That day will come - and I'll lock myself away for a day or two to do it!

Meanwhile I'm concentrating on troubleshooting just to see how successfully I can get Win10 to run from the upgrade. Thankfully the glitches (touchpad, wifi) that cropped up immediately seem to be resolved, and I'm now gradually shutting down or disabling unwanted services, switching off privacy settings and visual effects, and gaining some improvement that way. Next step is to get rid of OneDrive as suggested by you and @Megahertz, and I will continue to look for other tweaks....

And thanks, @jbcarreon123. You have repeatedly urged running a couple of batch files. Why? What do they do? What do you expect them to reveal? What's the purpose? I have not suffered any BSOD. I am not normally keen to run commands which I do not understand. Are the batch files only gathering and displaying information? If so, what kind of info? Or will they make changes to my setup? And if so, what changes? On balance, I am not planning to run them at present, but thanks for the suggestions.

It is used to almost everything. I have it used on some threads about Windows 10 performance.

This is the summary of the batch files.

DiskParInfo.bat- Generates the right number of diskpart commands to run based on the number of hard drives (HDD and SSD) and partitions on each hard drive. Runs reagentc to collect recovery environment data, bcdedit to collect boot manager and loader info. All output is written to a DiskParInfo.LOG file in the users temp folder (%temp%\DiskpParInfo.LOG).

Tuneup_plus_log.bat ─ Runs System File Checker (SFC), Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) and CHKDSK commands to verify or restore Operating System files and Windows Management Instrumentation Commands (WMIC) and BCDEDIT commands to set some basic startup, debug and dump settings.

Thanks @jbcarreon123 for that explanation.

I have run commands like sfc scannow and chkdsk in the past as separate exercises. It looks as if the batch files run a number of different operations of that kind ...

I have to say I'm a little nervous about running commands like bcdedit. That's because I have set up my dual boot with Linux Mint using EasyBCD. I would not want to run any commands which "correct" , "restore" or "debug" - because they may change or delete existing settings which may have been set as part of the dual boot configuration.

You can use GRUB2 instead of Windows Boot Mgr if the BCD is changed.

Maybe an clean install is the only solution..

Note: If you clean install, this what happens:

It will remove Windows (mainly), then
It will remove all the operating systems on the disk (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD), then
It will remove your EasyBCD configuration (because of removal of EFI system partition if UEFI; System Reserved when Legacy BIOS)
It will remove all applications, settings, and files on the disk, and
It will reinstall Windows.

So, to not get a headache reinstalling stuff, this will you do:

1. Don't delete the Linux Partition (doing this so you need to reinstall Linux and lost files on the Linux partition)
2. Make an list of the programs you need (so it will be easy to reinstall)
3. Backup your files (most important)
4. Do again the Windows Tweaking, and
5. Post here the results.

Some explanation:
1:
You will regret deleting the Linux partition.
Just don't

2:
Finding programs you need is a pain.
You can use a notes to list down your programs you need.

3:
If you don't backup your files,
You can't find your files out of the Internet.

4:
You can do the Windows tweaking so Windows will smoother.

5:
You can help some people if you do this.
