Any options to add another HDD/SDD? If yes, then add it and install Windows 10 on that drive.

if you are doing a re-install , i would switch to ssd now
you will be amazed what a difference it makes from platter drives.
and since 1tb has dropped down quite a bit now from a few months ago i would recommend getting a crucial or a sandisk one.
cheers.
