Steps to make pc boot faster: 
(1) Click on "START BUTTON" and navigate to "run"
(2) Then type: Msconfig and click run
(3) A window will pop up then click "STARTUP"
(4) Now you would be presented with bunch of filenames and addressess and boxes with checks in them. Uncheck all the boxes(if possible) then click apply and ok.
Now the computer will ask if you will like to restart. Restart the system and the settings will kick in.
Note: You can use a software called "BOOTVis" to speed up booting automatically"

To my own experience...with 4gb ram? Still slow? Try to get in touch with laptop engineer and put paste on the processor or try to back up your files and format the laptop...

1. Do you make use of a third-party app for copying files?

2. If you have an anti-virus software installed, it might be slowing things down by trying to scan each file that is being copied on access. Disable it and see if that helps.

3. Run chkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt.
