Make my laptop faster?

[khone]

I have an HP 13 Split X2 touch. I just upgraded it to Win 10 and now it is so slow it's like being on dial-up. My internet is hardwired and rated @ 100Mbps. My configuration is included.

Is there anything I can do to speed it up?

Also, would I be able to add an SSD to it? Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.
