Change your power plan to 'high performance' if it's not already.

Faster in what way? for games or productivity?

In general, Windows 10 performs faster than Win8, but only in benchmarks would it be noticeable.

That is the main problem with using a laptop. The only way to upgrade lower end laptops is to buy a new laptop with more performance. Most laptops do NOT support overclocking, or hardware(other than memory or HDDs)upgrades.

I don't think that any tweaks are possible (you already have an SSD). Upgrading to Win10 would help, but most anything else would be like trying to make your car faster by painting it red(everyone knows that red cars are faster), and just as effective.

Install a clean Windows setup, install that solid state drive. Nothing much you can do with the system. More RAM may help but not by much.
