It came with Win 10. I upgraded to Win 11 via clean install, which eliminated the bloatware like Norton.

To make it faster, I turned off all of the Windows animation effects. Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects.

I turn them off primarily because I find them distracting. It also makes things a bit faster.
