You say "after like 2 hours later
the performance I was getting was like 80% now
and when I plug in my laptop, it's 100% "

Here are some of the steps to speed up your computer.  

Try windows + r -  on the run window - type msconfig  - click ok  
click on services
check - hide all microsoft services 
click on disable all
click on startup 
disable all the startup items 
click on apply - ok  - restart the computer.     Loading process will be very fast now..   

Note: You can always enable the services and startup items later or set it to normal startup from selective startup later on the General tab 

Try windows + r - on the run window - type appwiz.cpl  - click ok  
it will show you the list of programs
remove all the unwanted third party programs. 
Please don’t remove any drivers.  
If you are not sure , please don’t remove it.  

Try windows + r - on the run window type temp - click ok -  it will show you the bunch of files -  try ctrl + a - select all files - press the shift key and click on delete files 

Try windows + r - on the run window type  %temp%  - click ok  - It will show you the bunch of files -  try ctrl + a - select all files - press the shift key and click on delete files 

If you are not able to remove some files - click on skip and then click click on continue.. 


Try windows + r  - on the run window - type cleanmgr - click ok
click on all the boxes except recycle bin and thumnail
Delete the items which are checked 

Try windows x - on the menu - chose command prompt admin or power shell admin 
click on yes 
on the blue or black window  type sfc /scannow 
It will be running till 100 %

Try to do a chrome reset 
open chrome
click on three dots on top right corner 
click on settings
Scroll down - go to advanced
click on restore setting to default
you will see reset settings - cancel
click on reset settings 
Open chrome 
it will work faster now

If it is still not working then we have to do a refresh and reset


click on start - settings - update and security - recovery - reset this pc - get started 

or 

on start - type here to search - type reset this pc - click on reset this pc on the top  - click on get started 

It will show you keep my files and remove everything


chose keep my files 
chose the account - type the password - click on local reinstall - click on reset 
It will be in progress.. 
login to computer and start using the computer. 

If it is still not working 

click on start - settings - update and security - recovery - reset this pc - get started 
chose remove everything 
click on local reinstall - just remove my files - click on reset

If you do refresh ( keep my files ) -  all your personal files like pictures, music , documents , videos  will still be intact.   Only the applications will be lost 

 

If you do reset  ( remove everything )  - you are doing a factory default.   It will become like a day one computer.    It will wipe out everything and take your computer to day one like a new computer.

You can also do this ( keep my files and remove everything ) in a alternative way...

There are two alt keys on the keyboard.  If you look at the bottom row of keyboard you can see the one on the left side of space bar and the other on the right side of space bar.  The alt key on the right side will be looking like alt, alt gr or alt car.  Turn off the computer.  Hold the alt key on the left and tap f10 continuously.   It will go to repair mode.  If it is not going to repair mode, turn off the computer.  Turn on the computer.  Hold the right alt key ( alt gr or alt car or alt )  and then tap f10 continuously.   It will go to repair mode.    It will show you chose an option, continue, troubleshoot..

Go to troubleshoot - It will show you keep my files and remove everything.
