Upgrade SSD on the walmart GWTC116-2 2in1 laptop

i have both the GWTC116 and the 2in1 GWTC116-2 laptop from WalMart, that i made the mistake of buying a second time, because it is under $200. tbh, i kinda love this little gateway 2in1 laptop/tablet, its pretty awesome, specially for the price and after you fine tune some things, of course. My issue is, it is this:

GWTC116-2

OsS edition: windows 10 home

version: 2009

OS Build: 10.0.19042.746

system type:gwtc116-2

RAM: 4GB

it came with free update to windows 11, yet, after doing so, it left me with a slow bogged down laptop that i cant do anything on and trying to do so, takes like an hour+. There's no way to upgrade the SSD, because it is soldered to the board. so im just S.O.L. from what i keep being told. Anyone got any advice to either fixing my problem, doing so right, or wiping the laptop and starting over.

any other tips or tricks would be very appreciated!

(p.s.:

i tried to install an external SSD, but it wont let me download programs to it. im sort of lost on where to go from here, tbh)

Thank you! That actually makes a lot of sense as far as anti-virus software may just be the culprit. I paid a lot of money for my subscription to mcafee so I didn’t want to have to delete it and not use it, because I have big problems with WiFi security here, but it does seem to be doing way too much stuff in the background for this little laptop to handle. I will give all those tips and tricks a go. Thank you, again, for the helpful link! I appreciate it.

If you want to upgrade the ssd still you can always replace the network card with a small m.2 nvme. You can buy a A/E key to M key adapter.
