It's Windows, but Lenovo bloatware doesn't help.
I've never really used Windows as a daily driver until I had to do cross-platform development for PhotoStructure[1]. My windows box is a recent XPS 15 with an m.2 SSD and core i7. My Mac is a 10 year old 17" MBP. My linux box is the cheapest core i5 I could get 2 years ago with an mSATA SSD (not m.2).
Here's this morning's CI job timings (running the same 2K tests that exercise a reasonable mixture of CPU, process management, and disk I/O):
Windows 10 (XPS 15):
2384 passing (2m)
Done in 134.95s.
Mac (10 year old MBP on 10.11):
2365 passing (2m)
Done in 108.12s.
Ubuntu (i5, LTS 18.04):
2365 passing (1m)
Done in 74.16s.
I'd suggest backing up your HD, making a USB stick with OEM Windows 10, and reinstalling just Windows (with no Lenovo bloatware):
