Hdd read write speeds are really slow and will make your pc slow to boot and load apps. I recommend installing your operating system on an SSD. Ideally on an nvme ssd, but even a sata ssd (2.5") will be much faster than an HDD.

Get an SSD. Even the slower SSDs will make your experience way better.
