Windows 10: Is there any hope for my 4GB laptop? I refreshed Windows 10

My 4GB laptop is really slow. I did a fresh start, which I thought was going to reinstall Windows and delete everything, but it did not, (many, but not all, of my programs are still there). The computer is still delayed. Opening windows takes forever. Etc.

No heavy usage, I just want to use basic programs and not have to wait... much... time... for programs to open when I start whatever.

This RAM is hardwired. Cannot be changed.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
