Slow running after clean install

GT60

Hi Everyone 
I think I have fixed it.
I created a new Volume

I now have a D partition also so a happy bunny for a moment.
I will finish what I started this morning and report back tomorrow with good or bad news.
Thank you so much for your help 💖
I wasn't brave enough to.try this early today but decided I have nothing to lose.

You can make a new volume if the hard drive shows up in Disk Management but not My Computer and appears as unallocated space in Windows 11/10.

1. Hold down the Windows key and "X" for a second and click Disk Management.

2. Right-click the space showing as "unallocated space" and click "New Simple Volume".

3. Recreate the hard drive file system and configure it to a different drive letter, and Windows will then be able to detect it.

This is what you should do if you reinstall Windows:

• Disconnect/remove all disks except the one you want to install Windows on.  You should just have one physical disk connected.
• Remove all partitions as part of the setup process and install.
• When Windows has been installed turn off the computer and reconnect any other hard drives you have.
• When Windows is loaded on restart the second disk should be visible.
  

If you don't do this you can inadvertently remove data on a second drive you may want to keep and can get confused about which disk to install Windows on to. Also if you don't do this the Windows setup process will put boot files on other drives that Windows is not installed on and if you ever need to remove that second drive Windows will not boot.  You can see this happened in this case as there are small partitions put on disk 1 which is not the disk where Windows is installed.
