HP Pro 3520 All-in-One (B5F97EA) is slow. Just old or is there a fix?

[Paul47001]

Hi,

I have a HP Pro 3520 All-in-One (B5F97EA) on the side but it is slow (yes I understand it is a older computer :-). Everything takes a long time to start and load. Windows has to think 30 seconds before it opens microsoft edge etc etc

Is it suppose to be this slow or might something else be wrong?

Windows 10 is fully up to date as are the other drivers. Harddisk or memory doens't show any errors (as far as I can determine).

Inter core i3-3220 with 4GB DDR3 RAM and 500mb harddisk.

Thanks!
