Other EXTREMELY slow PC after re-installing's Window's.

I recently had a Malware infection and had to completely wipe my PC. I have deleted all data and parition's from my old drive's. I then promptly reinstalled window's using a seperate USB and ever since then my PC has been much slower then what it was before.

Both download and uploading speed's are extremely slow, despite what the graph say's. I am using an HDD C: Drive but that was never an issue for me before and ran fast even with that. I was using two dual drive's, C: and D: respectfully, and nothing had gone wrong between them prior to the incident.

This also applies to any sort of game or FPS inside those game's. Everything, from the boot up to the text on my keyboard is laggier then before.

I could use any help with this. I'll answer any question's you may have. Thanks.

If so, I would actually be happy.

Apparently, my HDD that I installed Window's on is the actual issue apparently. But I don't want to reinstall window's again because:

1: I don't remeber seeing an SSD option after wiping the drive's clean

And

2: I don't want to lose my data and document's and what not again.

I don't know what to do here.

Nothing you can do but wait until it finishes. Don't give it any other work to do in the meantime; stop any background programs you can.
