Windows 10: Newly bought laptop performance is slow

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes. My newly bought (4 days old) laptop (Lenovo Y530) is surprisingly slow. I'm not sure why, but opening,searching, and whatever task I do takes longer. I also noticed that my disk usage is constantly high (50%~). I assume that's the problem?

The specs are as follow:

i5-8300H
GTX 1050
8GB RAM
1TB HDD

I'm not sure if adding an SSD would solve it, but shouldn't it be this slow?
