@sjmulder At work I was running an i3 laptop with 8 gigs of ram. Running a fairly recent 2016 Windows excel and word and caseware. Had a mechanical drive. Ran it on Windows 7 still that was deprecated and then Windows 10. Dispite the 10 minute start up. Where I would go to the bathroom and make some coffee it ran as well as every other machine. Because everyone else had downloaded a bunch of shit into their system. Which was hogging resources. I also had one of the best battery lives. Install only what you need. I got an SSD in the end but I still went to the toilet and made myself some coffee.
