To be honest your best fix is probably to scrap windows and try out Linux. I use Linux Mint 17.3 but later versions are now available. Windows 10 was always slow and buggy so I decided to dual boot my laptop with Linux. It took some reading and research to learn how to do it but I got there in the end and I've never looked back. I've been on a fast bug free Linux laptop for over 2 years now and only had the smallest of problems that are usually easily fixed by having a look online. Because it uses a Unix based architecture Linux is fast, secure and easy to use. It just requires a slightly different mindset to use it. In terms of compatability most things work, the only thing I can't do is use my sony companion software to back up my phone but there are always workarounds. Give it a go. You can download an OS to a USB drive and try it out by booting from the USB. There are loads of different flavours of Linux, just find the one that suits you. I use Ubuntu on my old laptop but Mint is easier to use.

I just read the last line - yes do get linux! ;) But honestly, it shouldn't take you too long once you've worked it out. Infact, if you still have your old laptop try it out on there first using a clean install (ie not dual boot). Then when you're happy with it back up your data and dual boot your newer laptop for the odd occasion that you need to use Windows - I think I've had to use mine twice last year.
