Hi there,
How long have you have the laptop? Do you have any other symptoms of viruses/malware/adware/etc. on the machine? This is the first thing to check and see if there is something malicious slowing you down.
If not, a few more things you can try:
# Running a program like [https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download|CCleaner] to clear up temporary files and repair registry values to speed up you computer.
# Use MSCONFIG to disable some startup programs to save system resources. Here are some [http://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows|instructions] on that.
# Defragment your Hard Drive (not guaranteed to help, but can't hurt either)
Give that a shot and let me know what happens.
