i5, 16gigs of ram, decent graphics... Win 10 definitely seems to be
slower and less responsive than win 7 pro on same equipment. Only added
software to core system is office 2014. Objective responses would be

slower and resumes slower as well.

Try this.

Notice something with a big delay on windows ?

Check Task Manager. Is the CPU pinned ? Nope, it's idle.

Check disk drive light.
Is the disk drive light flashing ? Nope.

what does that leave ?

Artificial delay.

And while there are a large number of things
you could try and adjust, my guess would be
