I bought a new laptop for home, an ASUS G551JW with an I7-4720HQ, 8GB RAM, and upgraded it to a Mushkin 240GB SSD drive with a clean install of Windows 10.

After doing so the performance is great but oddly when in day to day applications it is not as fast as my work laptop. Opening and closing apps is slower, like there is a delay or something, just generally not the same "usability" performance for lack of a better term.

Work laptop is an older Dell E6430 with 8GB, I5-3340M, 240GB SSD, Windows 7.

My old home laptop, a Lenovo N580 actually seemed to have a performance advantage running day to day stuff with the Intel B960M, 8GB, and the same Mushkin 240GB SSD with Windows 7.

So is Windows 10 just that much slower than Windows 7 was? Are there bloat features I can turn off to possibly improve things? Basically running OS with limited apps on both home ones. My work laptop get abused with a tremendous number of applications running throughout the day.

Anyone else see the same results?
