Windows 10 legit doesn't work with hard drives. It keeps scanning and scanning endlessly, slowing everything down. If you go down the "disable useless services" rabbit hole you might go too hard and end up with a useless Windows install without being able to remember how you disabled the firewall, for example. It wouldn't let me run the update without the firewall service running.
I just threw NixOS on it and only booted windows once since
