Laptop performance issue

Hello, my issue is that i have tried many os, linux mint, ubuntu, ubuntu dde, peppermint, and many xfce versions. aside from linux i have tried windows 10 pro and windows 7 ultimate, all of the above mentioned os gave me such a big headache, i mean they are all running too slow, i mean take an example of a right click on desktop, the options of refresh and other options takes almost 5-6 seconds to appear. i mean just a right click can't be slow.... any suggestion what should i do now? i mean should i change to anyother os or what? im currently using linux mint cinnamon, please must take a look at HDD, is that the issue or what? here are my specs
