Anything beyond that in a win 10 machine can usually be solved by doing a reset if you don't want to or can't just clean it up. Mac PC linux doesn't really matter. There isn't a huge variety in drives and so mac or pc chances are pretty high you are using the same drive.

Most folks replace the pc when it is getting slow when they could usually just replace the drive and be right back in business. I have piles of old pc's sitting in my garage that just need a new drive. I give them out to kids as I hear needs of them after i replace the drive and they go on typically for years after that.
