          Cortana is like what would happen if you took the worst bits of Siri and combined them with the worst bits of Alexa, then threw away everything that wasn't completely dire.
          Edge is almost as bad as Cortana. It's like taking a web browser on fibre, then putting the feed through a 9.6k modem that has been configured to show adverts.

                Get a new machine - cost a few quid more but won't have to upgrade every little thing.

                  Got an SSD. Problem is, there's fa disk space - 128GB & it fills up very quickly. Just checked - I had 70MB left. No wonder I could hear it thrashing away. Deleted a load of stuff & performance is a bit better.

                  Still can't stand all that render on scroll tulipe though.

                    Upgrade your OS, upgrade your RAM.
