Once it gets going it seems ok, but the wait time before I can even do anything is pretty bad.

Well if you've already upgraded/activated Windows 10 and blew away your old files anyways, you might as well try a clean install. Download the media creation tool (
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10), setup a USB and boot from it, then do a custom install and completely remove all of the partitions on your OS drive and let Windows create it's own and format them. That will almost guarantee better performance vs. an upgraded OS, no matter how clean you think it was
