Then that combined with the very weak processor is the answer.

If you can always use ssd as a boot drive.

That might be why, my laptop does the same when I install windows, but not when linux or macos are installed.

You might want to look into the ram. Not that it's going to give you a better experience, but it seems a bit much for windows to reserve 1 GB for hardware. I had a problem like this too. Currently I'm at 300MB.

Now again, it isn't going to make your pc faster, but incase you want to continue using it, you might want to look into it.

First, A-series AMD APU's are essentially rubbish, they're basically equivalent to the Intel mobile i3 chips but with more reasonable GPU power. That one in particular is from 2015 and is basically like having a Intel Core i3-4005U

 

It's old and slow. It probably uses DDR3L RAM. I would probably retire it unless you want to put a SATA SSD in it and use it for another year or two.
