It’s just painfully slow at everything always has been, only want to open email surf the web bit streaming etc.
Is it just not man enough? What can I do to speed it up? Internet speed tonight it’s reporting 21mbs down and 28 up.

if you think it was faster when you first got it then one thing you can do is reset Windows back to fresh install
you will lose all your apps and data but as long as you have backups of these you can re install them
Google how to do it0 -
Try the following first give it a normal restart first these windows tablet like machines still need restarts it could be its never been restarted and has outstanding updates in the background. This is a fairly decent spec. You could need some additional bloatware uninstalling to help performance. let me know any questions happy to advise.Kind Regards,
