HP 15.6 Pentium-Scarlet Red
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought this HP 15.6 Pentium-Scarlet Red  Laptop 2 mths ago & since the 1st time I used it, it is extremely slow. It’s slow like my old laptop was after using it a lot for 6 yrs.   I have only used it 4-6 times b/c of this reason. Did I buy a bad one or do all of them have this issue?
