Can my Inspiron 15 3000 (3567) be upgraded? Extremely slow

I purchased the Inspiron 15 3000 series (3567) which has a i3-6606U processor with 4GB DDR4 ram.

This is the slowest computer I have ever used. When I (mouse) click on a icon (like to start Chrome, or open a program (Word, etc.)) it takes more than 5 seconds for anything to happen. Many times I think the "click" was not firm enough or didn't get recognized, so I click again. Then 5 or 6 seconds later two of the same programs open. Even doing Ctrl+Alt+Del is slow to open.

First I thought there might be some faulty/damaged software responsible, so I reformatted the hard drive and loaded Windows 10 fresh install. However the computer is still as slow. There is no way this is normal or acceptable. I should have returned it when I first bought it, but I don't use the laptop much (at first just for trips) so it was not something at the top of my to-do list. But I can't continue to use the laptop like this - 

  • Is there a possibility of upgrading to a faster processor?
  • Is there possibly a Dell trade-in program where I could upgrade that way to a more usable computer?

you have to uninstall dell support assist as there is a bug with the app.  It was consuming all ram and rendered my laptop unresponsive. Even after upgrading to 32gb the problem remained.

After you uninstall the app you will immediately sort your issue.
