why windows 10 is slower than windows 7 ?

[manmeetsehrawat]

hello ! 
I am Manmeet from Delhi, India. 
I have two laptops one with windows 10 and the other one with windows 7.

windows 10 laptop specs: HP laptop (don't remember the model)

                                                  age - 2 years old

                                                  processor - Intel i3 6th generation
                                                  ram - 4gb

                                                  graphics - Intel (R) HD Graphics 610

windows 7 laptop specs: Samsung laptop (don't remember the model)

                                                age - 8 years old
                                                processor - Intel i3 2nd generation
                                                ram - 2gb
                                                graphics - Intel (R) HD graphics

My windows 10 has 4gb ram and Microsoft says windows 10 is faster than it's predecessor. but windows 7 is way faster than windows 10. I don't know why, even windows 10 has 2gb more ram than windows 7 still windows 7 is faster. even windows 7 has more programs and apps installed in it than windows 10. both have the same system requirements so why windows 7 is faster than its successor ? can you advice something to make my windows 10 faster ?

You can't compare apple with orange they are not the same. You have to compare 2 same configuration machines to have a valid result.

First of all, I would believe NOTHING that MS says regarding the performance gains from using any version of Windows.  They are like used car salesmen -- they will say anything to get you to spend your money, and then when you don't get what you paid for, they will say "your mileage may vary".

Second, until I recently upgraded my primary desktop, the older one came with Win7 on it.  I upgraded to Win8, Win8.1, and finally, to Win10 -- and noticed NO significant performance gains across these OS versions.  If anything, Win7, tended to be the fastest of the three.
