First thing, wait till the system is fully loaded, including any Windows updates it may be trying to do.

You did not say exactly what "laggy" is, if on the internet, it may be a slow connection you are on, if it is actually slow opening files on the laptop that is another issue.

The system is a low end one, looks like they are under $300 for most models. That means a slow CPU, less RAM than most other better laptops and a slower hard drive. All of that will equal a slower system you may be used to from using other computers that use faster parts.

First thing I do when getting a new PC; either A. remove all the bloatware, or B. Install a fresh windows install which also removes all the bloatware companies throw into these laptops for us..

That'd be my first step. Also if it uses an HDD rather than an SSD load times will be longer.

As for McAfee I'm not a big fan, I hate all the constant pop ups plus I think you only get 1 month free. I just use Windows defender and an ad blocker and I never get viruses

so I tried your comment Hang 9, waited and went back on, still buffering and shuttering...it's like google does not want me to go to any youtube video nor site. also, it's not my internet...as it is rated 5 and it work's fast and perfect on my phone...so I need a good answer.

Are you testing connections in the same area? Test it with a network cable not on wireless. How much RAM is in the system? You rebooted the system right? All updates finish running if you check the windows update status?
