my pc is exteremly slow even tho I have 8gb of ram, there are no viruses etc yet it still runs super slow and some games which can be runned even at 512mb of VRAM lag. Also I used the Windows Partion application and kinda messed up my hard drive like I cannot add unallocated space into exsisting partions etc and there are some partions that I do not need or want yet I cannot seem to get rid of them as the options for them are greyed out. I am also providing a video incase you don't understand what I mean by that, it is an YouTube link! Also I didn't know what tag to use so I used all 3 I am sorry.

    There are several reasons behind the slowness of a system and one cannot make it faster by increasing RAM only. You haven't mentioned the other hardware specifications, specially you are using a SSD or, not.

    I shall suggest you to download Windows 10 from download site of Microsoft and go for a clean installation. Format the existing drive and create partitions and finally install the OS.

    You need to boot from Windows and start installing Windows, then you should see menu to do partition, in this page, try format and delete all partitions and it would become one large unallocated space, where you could start doing the partitioning.
