That model is a low-end entry-level laptop of a type that used to be called NetBooks. It's not a fast notebook to begin with.
That said, if it is so slow as to be all but useless, one possibility is that the "disk drive" is nearly full and that can slow Windows to a crawl.
Here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

Finally, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html
Those should free up enough space for it to perform better. IF it does not, come back and report that.
