HP Laptop 15S-GR0007AU performance

[NKOS]

I just purchased a HP Laptop 15S-GR0007AU. It is extremely slow. Kindly advise.

@NKOS Let's start with performing a hard reset on the PC to release any excessive static/power that could have caused the issue. 

• Turn off the computer. 
• Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers. 
• Unplug the AC adapter from the computer. 
• Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory. 
• Press the Power button to turn on the computer. 
• If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key. 

Second, you can check if there is Bios update available for your PC, here is the link to download. 

Performing a test on the Hard drive as well as on the Memory from the Hardware diagnostics:  

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.

3. On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests.

4. Click Extensive Test.

5. Click Run once, or Loop until error.

   While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component are shown on the screen. The test can take 2 or more hours to complete.

   NOTE:

If the diagnostics are not available when using the F2 menu, run the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics from a USB drive. To download the latest version of the diagnostics, go to the HP Hardware Diagnostics website. For instructions, see Testing from an external USB device.

The best way to resolve the issue is by using the HP Guided Troubleshooter:

I wish to inform that the link to drivers update and bios update doesn't work.

(https://h22207.www2.hp.com/in-en/drivers/laptops)

And believe me, I've been trying since more than a week.

So kindly provide me with a genuine site where one can update bios/drivers.

Thanks.

@NKOS In that case, I suggest you perform the hardware test as mentioned before, so we can identify if this is either an issue with the software or hardware,

Also, the link you have is the genuine site for all HP drivers, if you can't find the required drivers on it, it means that there are no new drivers released for your product.

Let me know how that goes.
