Help with technical problem

[robvalue]

I got a new laptop recently, a hp with reasonable specs for £300 or so.

It's mainly running fine, but I find that when I use browsers, scrolling up and down is really laggy. I grab the scroll bar and it moves for a bit, then it locks in position as if it has to load more of the page. Then it moves a bit more, then locks again. Even my old crappy laptops were far better than this.

I hate Windows 10. I guess it's probably something to do with this, although my old laptop eventually got W10 forced on it but still didn't have have this problem.

Anyone have any suggestions please? I'm currently using Chrome, as I have for many years. I turned off "pinch zoom" along with many other useless gestures with the touchpad. It really does seem to be to do with loading the webpages, but why is this a problem? This computer is way more powerful than my last one.
