Did you go through the CCleaner guide and perform those steps? I recommend cleaning up a few things as the first step. Let me know if any questions and if it is running better after performing the following steps.
Step 1:
Remove McAfee Antivirus with the following tool and only use the built-in Windows Defender. For best results run the removal tool in Safe Mode:

Remove the following programs with free version of RevoUninstaller as follows:
Ashampoo WinOptimizer 16
IncrediMail 2.5

WildTangent Helper
Step 3:
Restart computer and test
Add RAM if possible
Avoid thermal throttling
Remove animations
Turn off autoupdate on all softwares
