You've not told us which model of Chromebook you've bought. (That would help us work out if it's actually capable of running Windows efficiently or not).

However any new Windows computer (which includes a refurbished model that's just had Windows freshly installed onto it) will tend to run slowly for the first week or two, simply because of all the updates that Windows will constantly be installing in order to bring it up to date.

Opps! Sorry! I didn't notice the significance of the word 'Stream' in your post.

The HP Stream ISN'T a Chromebook! (That's probably why I got confused). It's a Windows notebook/laptop from the very start (which was never designed to run the Chrome operating system on).

I still think that you might be getting loads of Windows updates (which can slow some machines to a crawl) but I suggest opening Task Manager to take a look at what's hogging so many resources.
