how old is your Laptop? Running a laptop for a couple years pretty much depletes its power and, unless you took great care of it and maintained it, it will run slower.
Have you put in alot of programs(games/editing software/other browsers/security software) onto your computer? That slows your processing power down even if you dont use them often it will still take up space.
Idk about that MSE program since Ive never heard of it, but I do recommend webroot.
It is $60 US a year but it is a fantastic investment on a computer you plan to use alot. It runs great and does check ups ever so often. If you download things you can immediately right-click on it and check it through webroot to check if its legit. (I also appreciate the emails webroot sends ever so often informing me of things we need to be aware of, such as cyber attacks and ways to secure your computer.)
I dont mean to be rude but Dell Laptops aren't the best in performance, they just dont really last. (if its your everyday use laptop). I would advise a HP laptop with an intel core processor (AMD processors are alright but intel is a bit better imo) if you would consider a new laptop.
These are all suggestions I'm not implying these ideas to be the best or most effective. Its just what works for me.
Is that windows update for windows 10? or just 8.1? I think there was an issue with windows 8 where you could easily manage to get into anyones laptop even if you didnt know the password. so they updated it (I think) but it also had other problems that in 8.1 they fixed i believe. Again I'm unsure, I had windows 7 and upgraded to windows 10, which was a very bad idea. I would not suggest to get windows 10 unless your fine with your computer updating itself without your consent. This isnt a serious issue it just bugs me that if I dont want a certain program I cant choose to deny its update. Also I hate that I have to be logged into my Microsoft account at all times, just feels like there's no privacy. I would say going to 8.1 would probably be ideal for you if you have windows 8 since its just an updated version.
