Windows 10: Working with Higher Resolution Images in Windows 10 Home 64

My Computer HP Pavilion G7-1260US Notebook PCProcessor Intel Core i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20Ghz Installed Ram 4.00 GBC: Drive 640 GBVideo Integrated on MLBWindows 10 Home 64 Bit Version 1909Installed 02/25/2020OS Build 18363.720
Computer 8+ years old
Data Storage External 3.0 USB-C HD but USB ports are USB 2.0

1. When I use Windows Explorer to open a file folder that contains images. the higher resolution images take longer to load onto the screen. When I click through the next image there is a delay before it precedes to the next image.

I am going to be getting a newer computer within the next week or so.
The newer computer will be an Intel Core I-5 With at least 8GB Ram and USB ports will be at least USB-C 3.0
Will I see a vast improvement of load times and moving through images quicker?

2.0 Would I have better results using a different image viewer software?. I current use Irfanview 4.51 32 bit version.
3.0 Not a fan of Windows/MS Picture Viewer but would I have a better experience viewing images.
4.0 Should I just bite the bullet and get a paid version of Image Viewers via ACD or one of the lite versions of Adobe etc. Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated!

More detail:

  This problem can’t be reproduced with 4K monitor.

  Connect external monitor (max 1920x1080) in HDMI port;
  
• 
  Under clone mode, internal LCD(max 1366x768) and external monitor show 1366x768 as default.

  Check Display in settings, you can also set the resolution to 1920 x 1080.
  
  
  
  

 

Won't set to a higher resolution

OK, on your new system is the correct Display driver loaded, go to Control Panel - Device Manager and make sure that you are not running the Microsoft Basic Display Driver.

If the correct Display Driver is loaded, right click your Desktop, choose Display Settings and see if your resolution is set to the one marked (recommended)

If your resolution is set to the one marked (recommended), then I have some questions:

• Does your new Computer GPU support higher resolutions
• What size is the monitor you are using
• In the control panel of your GPU can you choose to set a custom resolution
