I recently upgraded my grandpa's laptop with an Intel Celeron N3350, 1TB HDD, Intel HD graphics, and upgraded RAM to 8GB DDR3L on a 120GB SSD. It was a fresh Windows 10 64-bit install. He used to play games on Facebook and explore Google Earth, but it used to boot slowly. After the upgrade, Google Earth ran smoothly, though Windows still lagged a bit. I ran an HD tune test and everything passed, but Windows performance remains inconsistent. What could be causing this issue?
It seems the new driver might be the cause. Have you checked for a Windows update yet? Also, consider installing the latest Intel HD graphics driver by hand.
Included with Windows 10 wasn't the issue—it was the CPUs and their GPU drivers.
