Hi,
If your laptop is running more slowly than usual or has become increasingly slow over the past several weeks or months, see the Acer Aspire 5253 Is Running Slowly problem page for possible problems and solutions.
Just a few suggestions.
1. Have you checked that 'fast startup' is enabled?

2. Have you checked in Task Manager/ Startup to see what programs are loaded on boot?

3. Have you turned off (the ones you don't want) Windows live tiles to stop them 'updating' unnecessarily. It cuts into your download as well as using the CPU.

4. Have you turned off Windows Defender if you have another AV installed?
5. Have you disabled any unnecessary 'bloatware' installed by Acer?
6. There was a BIOS Version update to Ver.1.15 dated 13/08/2015 which simply says "Improve System Performance' You may wish to check your BIOS version. Here is a link to download the update http://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/dri... select BIOS/Firmware tab

The Intel N2840 processor is very simply a low powered budget CPU. You will not get great performance from it. An SSD will somewhat help speed up loading . You don't say how much RAM you have but the single stick can be removed and replaced by an 8GB one.
Blocking Microsoft's telemetry software could help a little. Making sure W10 is updated also helps some. Run Windows Update. Updating drivers helps. I use IOBit's Drive Booster free version.
It is nothing to do with Acer it is the Intel processor. I have the ES1-411 which is even slower. We use it for travel as it is very thin and light weight. For heavy duty use I use an HP business laptop which is very fast and built like tank.
Windows 10 actually is faster than the other versions of Windows. It works much better with the hardware. I have W10 running very nicely on a 12 year old HP desktop with a single core AMD Athlon processor.
Good luck.
