@Kar09 -- launch the Windows "Task Manager", and switch to its "Performance" tab.

You will see graphs of the percentage-busy of the CPU and of the disk-drive, and the percentage of RAM that is being used, and the amount of network traffic.  Which component is your "bottle-neck"?

 

Also, note that any "fresh" installation of Windows will "call home" to run Windows Update. That app can monopolize your computer, for an hour or two.  Also, apps like iTunes and Adobe Reader and your anti-virus package will also "call home" to update themselves.
