HP 250 G5 which OS

[S1ngler]

Hello all, 

I have HP 250 G5 with Celeron N3060, 8 GB DDR3 and 1TB HDD without SSD  (product W4M62EA#BED ) on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64-bit) and when I want to use couple applications simultaneously (for example record Teams meetings or something like that) I stuck with 100% CPU usage. Actually I got 100% CPU usage very often no matter what I'm doing, but when doing some more demanding operations I get "not responding" window with 100% CPU usage and Windows hangs until I terminate processes via Task manager. I have done all the optimization and tuning of Windows 10 that could be done - removed all unnecessary startup applications, removed all unnecessary windows services, disk defragmation, Microsoft defender optimization etc... After all these operations I guess that my Celeron N3060 is too weak for Windows 10 demands...

When I first bought laptop I've installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit) and didn't have any problems with 100% CPU usage. But I had issue with integrated Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165 adapter. I had installed official Windows 7 drivers for this adapter from HP site but wireless adapter didn't work properly - no network access constantly.  After installed clean Windows 10 OS and AC 3165 drivers for Windows 10 I didn't have anymore network access problems. 

My  question is are there any other official or any other Windows 7 drivers with which the AC 3164 adapter will work properly on Windows 7 OS? Also if you have suggestion to try any other OS which won't stuck with 100% CPU usage I would like to hear.

P.S. I know Windows 7 is out of date and Microsoft support, but I don't have problem with that because I don't use any of applications that need the newest OS.

@S1ngler 

Your machine ONLY has Intel Celeron N3060 processor. You can NOT do much with that very weak processor that why it ALWAYS runs at 100%. If you wish to do real work, buy a better machine.

I know the main issue about my laptop is too weak Celeron N3060 CPU. Any reasonable upgrade isn't possible with it's mainboard and no significantly a better mainboard with faster CPU couldn't be installed in this laptop. Also it's not worth to sell it and at the moment I don't want to spend extra money for new laptop. Eventually I would install  SSD instead of DVD-RW drive and with OS other than Windows 10 hope to get better performances. Is it worth to try with Windows 7?
