I bought this computer to replace a Mac (about 4 months ago), because I really needed the windows OS for printing however it is the slowest computer I've ever had which does include other OS models. I've tried all the tips on youtube regarding speeding up the system but they truely do not make that much of a difference. Does anyone out there have any other hints or tips??  I did read about wiping all and adding MS back on but am thinking of that as a last resort. Thank you, Ronda

You have not mentioned what you use for storage. If you are still using old style spinning HDD, then it will be slow for sure( just checked the spec, and yes, it is 1 TB mechanical HDD).  Change the boot drive to a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD or at least replace it with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD , and then you will be happy with the performance. The original 1 TB HDD to be reformatted for data only later.
