Task Manager can help to find programs which are using a lot of resources during startup.

You don't need to do anything.
When you upgraded your laptop to Win10, Windows registered its then-current Windows license with MS license servers as a "digital activation". You can verify that...

Both "wake from sleep on magic packet" and "wake on pattern match" should be *disabled*. Both are looking for special network packets and thus have to keep the ethernet chipset powered on.
You might also check to see if "Wake on Lan" is enabled in the BIOS and disable it.

Also, don't forget that remote systems have their own bottlenecks. Very few can make use of the full bandwidth of your local connection.
Beeps at power-on usually are a signal by the motherboard that there's a hardware problem.
The number and length of the beeps indicate what the problem most likely is.
For details, consult the...
Sorry, I have no experience with or opinion on Experian's service. I make do with a combination of Microsoft Defender (as provided with Win10) and Comodo's Internet Security (free) in addition to...
