Restore Asus A540S PC

Hello,

I bought an Asus A540S laptop on Tuesday.
It was my birthday gift so I was super happy.

However, this brand new laptop is running ten times slower than my old HP that was three years old...

So I would like to restore it to its original state and take it back to the store for a refund or to get another brand.

I read that for Asus you need to press F9 when the Asus logo appears, but no matter how much I press F9, nothing happens...

Any idea how to proceed, please?

Thank you for your help ;)

Configuration: iPhone / Safari Indeterminable

    Hello
    the laptops have the power-saving mode set to maximum when running on battery, which causes the processor frequency to drop to the minimum. So either you plug in the power supply or you change the power options to switch to normal or performance mode.

      Hello,

      I have exactly the same problem with my new Asus that I just bought - very, very slow even though it's brand new. Did you manage to find a solution?
      Thank you

    Hello,

    I finally took the PC to customer service and got a refund. This model was designed for office work, but I needed it more for multimedia browsing... so I got the model above (I added €40 out of my own pocket) and since then, no issues; it works great (aesthetically, it's exactly the same).

      Thank you for your reply!
      I uninstalled McAfee that was pre-installed, and it seems to be working better. I'll wait a week and do as you suggested if I still experience lag.

      Thank you!!
