Everything Freezes every couple of minutes

So I recently upgraded to Windows 10, but this issue has carried over from Windows 7, though it's seemingly worse now.
Every couple of minutes, it lags out for about 1-2 minutes. First the page freezes and I'm able to move the mouse for a short while longer, then the mouse starts lagging all over the screen. It does this whether I'm on the internet, just using the notepad, whatever. It's very annoying....
Also, the internet is constantly going out. My laptop being the only device in the house effected. It tells me "limited connectivity" or something and it usually lets me back on after I close out my internet browser. Also very annoying as I go to school online and take tests and things >.>

When I enter the Event Viewer and go to System, the internet error appears, but nothing for the lag.
"WLAN AutoConfig detected limit connectivity, performing Reset/Recover.adapter.

Code: 8 0x0 0x0"

any help or further guidance is appreciated.
In case you can't tell, I don't know much when it comes to fixing problems with my laptop x.x

Many issues that were existing in Windows 7 installations are carried through to the Windows 10 upgrade. If you cannot get a solution, I suspect that a clean install of Windows 10 should ask your problem. Unless it is hardware related, hard drive etc.
Incidentally, what type of hard drive do you have? What percentage capacity is still available? HDD or SSD? Recently defragged/optimized? Some information on these questions could help in the troubleshooting.
