Windows 10: Overall computer is slow and fails to have quick response times.

Surface Pro 6

8 gb ram

128gb SSD

i5-8250 CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80GHz

64-bit x64-based processor


Windows Specs:

Edition: Windows 10 Home

Model:1796

Version: 1903

Installed on 4/23/19

OS Build: 18362.145


Should my computer be slow in response times when opening apps? Should I feel I have a latency in how internet works or apps? Should I be having a general not so snappy experience with this Windows Experience?


I gotta just be honest the way this computer looks is far better than the way it performs. I may be wrong and am ok with that. That's why I am here to ask these questions.


I will put in the work - If you could, suggest what are some things that often has to be done but maybe doesn't really want to be mentioned?


Do I need to repair apps?


Do I need to back up and reinstall?


Do I need to delete certain things?


Must I Upgrade to windows PRO?


Any information shared would be appreciated - it would help so I can enjoy the computer because as of right now I am not able to have a snappy workflow and it causes me to move the other OS!
