DELL OUTLET INSPIRON 15 - 3583 LAPTOP
Biggest waste of money. Bought this about 4 months ago. This has got to be the slowest piece of garbage ever. I have updated it, cleared it. updated it again, and still slow as heck. I turn it on, go make a cup of coffee, sit down and wait. I try to log online and wait. Pull up a website, and wait. My 10 year old desktop is 100 times faster. Considering an HP and throwing this junk in the closet.

One suggestion: don't buy the cheapest, most basic HP or you'll find yourself in the same situation all over again.
Chances are the system has an i3 CPU, 4G RAM and a spinning hard drive -- a trifecta for poor performance, but cheap up-front price. Since you can't do much about the CPU, upgrade to 8G of RAM and a native SSD and the system will perform at least reasonably well under Windows 10. The added RAM and SSD will cost far less than buying another system.

@ieee488 : He is just Frustrated. Every one of us is that is why we are interacting on these community forums User to User
@fms53 : If don't like someone's suggestion please ignore and move to next one.
Now lets talk about your problem
This model comes in 3 different configurations
8th Gen Core I3, I5 and I7 and minimum 4GB RAM and SATA hard drive
I assume you went for Core i3 and 4Gb
which is not supposed to be the fastest option.
Instead of investing in a new computer.
Add 4GB RAM and a 2.4 Inch SSD
The total would be less than 100$ and you should have a Decent working computer.
You want to switch to a different brand, by all means you can, But please choose
Minimum I5, 8GB RAM and an SSD
