Great Laptop! Windows 10 Creators: Not So Much
on July 20, 2017
Posted by: Hannah
I recently purchased this laptop after my other HP laptop (aged five years) began shut off at the most inconvenient times. My father has the same laptop, and as I was very impressed with it, I decided to give it a try. It's a really great laptop, especially if you've owned HPs in the past, but it was originally very slow. My father's had the same problem; he even went as far as sending it back for a new one (which went very smoothly, I might add!). After uninstalling some of the apps I didn't want (Priceline.com, 3D Paint, and McAfee), it was still unusually slow for a computer with an i5 processor. Even the startup was taking more than four minutes. My old laptop was quicker than this. Then I noticed that this laptop was using Windows 10 Creators Update as its running software. I was curious to see if an earlier version of Windows 10 would make it run quicker, and thankfully, I was right. The startup time is now under four seconds, and my father and I are both extremely happy with our new laptops. It seems that, for whatever reason, Windows 10 Creators Update really slows down this laptop. That may not even be the case, but returning to an older version of Windows 10 has certainly helped. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone, as it seems that the problem was Windows and not the laptop itself.
