Maybe on super old hardware. Windows 10 seems to have a problem where it starts accumulating a bunch of junk over time and starts running pretty slowly. I’ve already reinstalled it twice in the past year, and I generally don’t install random junk and try to clean it up as much as possible. It’s fine when it’s new, but damn does it turn to crap after a while. This is with a system of only SSD’s, OC’ed i7 and 16gb of RAM.
I've never experienced this on any Windows machine I have ever used, dating back to Windows 95. Your system has a severe hardware malfunction if it's running slowly at those specs. Has nothing to do with Windows 10.
