Spin3 STILL has 100% HDD usage after replacement under warranty

pegcity

The fact ACER staff continues to ignore the hundreds of posts about spin3s HDD usage issues is infuriating.  I have owned this laptop for a year and a half, it has been usable for about a month of that time.  After paying to have it shipped in (what company requires their customers to pay for shipping on warranty repairs? Acer that's who) they replaced the HDD and sent it back, 2 days in and suprise surprise 100% disk usage.  I am now off warranty.  Barring some fix from acer, is there a way to activate windows on a new drive if I bite the bullet, admit my mistake is purchasing from this company and buy a new drive that isn't a piece of ****?

Hi pegcity,
If you are seeing task manager showing 100% disk usage that may be because of number of reasons. Please try these steps to enhance performance and take care of 100% disk usage.
1)Many times computer runs slow because of too many unnecessary programs loading up in the background when we start our computer.So go to Task manager 
Check in Task manager > Startup to see what is starting when you first turn on your laptop and that are running in the background. The less programs, except for the ones you that you really need , the better. Also check for non Windows processes that you don't need.If in doubt, just disable them do not delete them. 
Then end task for that and restart computer. Check disk usage . If its still showing 100%. then go to next step.

2)Update all drivers in  device manager. Press windows +X, click device manager.
   Under device manager if you see any driver with flag, update driver and  install the correct version of that driver for that device. Then check the disk usage. If its less that 100%. GREAT. If not go to next step.

3)Another way is to increase the virtual memory.Follow these steps

Click the Windows + Pause break

Go to advanced system settings from the options in the left panel.
Now go to performance tab and click on settings.
