Windows 10: My laptop seems to bee exceptionally slow with windows 10

So I think my laptop has some decent specs. I have listed them below. I have also installed a fresh copy of windows 10. I don't do anything too intensive. Just using chrome, word, and watch Netflix, the laptop is extremely slow at times and I cant figure out why. can I please get some help? also, I understand the processor is old, but I shouldn't be this slow right? for example, it takes a good 10-20 seconds for chrome to open

Specs:

Laptop - hp elitebook 9470m

Processor - i5-3427

Ram - 16gb ddr3

Storage - 500gb SSD

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

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
