Windows 10: Laptop refresh before college

Hi, I don't really understand the mysterious ways the computers work. I have a laptop Lenovo Ideapad 3? I think I am not sure and I am going to college soon. I want to refresh this laptop so it runs faster and is free of any malware or these types of things, downloaded stuff that is not useful anymore etc. Is there some way to achieve it? Like factory settings? But I want to keep some of my old stuff too. Thanks for all the helpful tips!

Laptop Refresh rate

Judging from the HP site and reviews I Googled, that the specs are very basic on the screen beyond listing it as an IPS. I would assume as such that 60Hz is the refresh rate of that screen, any higher and you'd see advertising about it in the software, on the box, maybe even a sticker on the laptop itself, on top of reviews and HP's own speck sheet for that laptop.

I would recommend you contact HP Support as they should be able to provide you with the correct answer. *Toast :toast:
