The upcoming update with full UI improvements might enhance performance. If it happens, you can skip it or it will be mandatory like before. Your machine is an HP ProBook 6460b from 2011 with an i5-2410M, 8 GB DDR3 RAM at 1333MHz. Since you only use it for documentation and plan to replace it soon, the impact should be minimal.

For reading documentation on an older machine, it makes sense to skip Windows and go with Linux or ChromeOS—just for better speed. The switch won’t change much in practice, though performance will improve. Updating might still be delayed until necessary.

Or switch to an SSD, those old laptops start to perform much better.

No upgrade can boost your device's speed. The fix may improve how Windows manages resources, but it won't eliminate all existing problems.

You can apply a simple method demonstrated in a recent YouTube video. (Avoid linking the video here) The idea is to configure your Wi-Fi or network as a limited-connection setup and adjust Windows update settings so it doesn’t trigger updates under those conditions. I haven’t tried it myself, as it may need some fine-tuning elsewhere to ensure apps download, sync, and update properly on a metered connection (such as OneDrive).
