VAIO PC excruciatingly slow for unknown reason
Hi,
I'm primarily a Mac person, coming back to windows on this PC cause its the only one in the house with an optical drive. Last windows OS I used was XP, and I'm totally lost in 10.
As I understand (I am not the primary user of this computer) the OS has recently been freshly installed. This computer has barely been used as the slowness has relegated it to a back cabinet. I have stopped everything I can think of from running or starting that I don't need, and still can't run two apps at once. Importing a CD with iTunes? Can't do a web search without it freezing. Looking at settings? Go grab a cup of coffee while the menu loads. The specs on this PC seem to be acceptable--an i7 intel processor with 4gb of ram--I'm having a hard time understanding why it is so impossibly slow.
My Mac, for comparison, has an intel i5 processor and 4gb of ram and is running Catalina with absolutely no issues, very little load time or delay for any task.
So what's different? Unknown
Windows version is 1903 OS build 18362.476 (updated a week or so ago.)
Thanks!
