Help Need Advise on Reinstalling and Factory Reset

Hello everyone,

I have had my HTC Desire C for a while. I've noticed over time it has become less reliable and a lot more slow. I've tried Factory Resetting my phone but each time, it still leaves all my old apps and my Phone Memory appears to be mostly full.

I have done the Root on my HTC Desire C following various videos on YouTube. After it became unlocked, I experienced difficulty after that.

What I would like to do is simply wipe and reinstall Android onto my phone. A newer version if compatible. I need a fresh copy. I would like to increase the speed. Also if possible I would like to get it so I can install more apps onto my SD Memory Card instead of the Phone's Memory.

Now, I'm not very good at this kind of stuff. Could someone please carefully explain what I would have to do? Step by step. On the Boot, I used BootManager and FastBoot but that didn't seem to work for me. I am not aware about Boot ROMS and that stuff for phones. Please share photos, guidelines, videos to help.

Many thanks, Bradley.
