Alienware Alpha Going Slow

Lately, my Alienware Alpha has been going a lot slower than it usually has. I upgraded it to Windows 10 about a week ago, hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. Instead, the Alpha now goes to sleep within minutes, even though I set it to where it doesn't sleep until an hour has passed. Another problem I have is that after it goes to sleep in the short amount of time, when I log back into the Alpha my internet gets all messed up and I have to disconnect it and connect it again for it to work. Is it best to just do a factory reset on my Alienware Alpha to get rid of this lag as well as the other problems or is there a better option, possibly one where I don't lose everything I have on the Alpha?

Hi, 

Are you running the latest Bios version for your system (A04)? You could do an Alien Respawn factory restore, however, this will only restore the drivers and Alienware applications, not your personal data.
