Okay soooo.... I have this laptop that I use a little less often but is bugging me about. So WINDOWS just decides to RAMP UP THE HARD DRIVE TO ALL HELL WHENEVER I NEED TO USE IT.

I have a few options:
- Replace the 1TB 5400RPM with a 120GB SSD and do Linux
- Replace the 1TB with the 120GB and do a fresh install of Windows
- Replace Windows with Linux, keeping the 1TB
- or reinstall Windows

Which do you suggest and why?

question

antivirus

hard drive

ssd vs 5400 rpm

why me

    Replace the DVD drive with the hdd and add ssd in place of the hdd.

    And put Linux.

    Windows doesn't fit on a 120GB that well. My father is using one and it's full 24/7 with the least programs installed.

    You could try disabling Search and Superfetch, if you're okay with slower searches? My HDD would stay at 100% till I disabled those two. Pretty smooth now.
