The ssd do improve performance, there are few cases where it would not such as a more recent CPU and core-logic chipset, Is it configured correctly though ?
Ensure your SATA controller runs in AHCI mode
Avoid Disk Defragmentation
Make sure TRIM is running
Verify Hibernation is disabled
Enable Write Caching for SSD
Make sure the SSD partition is aligned

All the above is from there its not a uncommon issue but one that people can resolve.

As for the Windows 10 Updates you are honestly asking the wrong guy, As ive said I have 7 on my older hp which i work with most of the time, on my asus i have ten and i have disabled updates, one day when im forced to work on ten I will have a look to see what are better options. Supposedly from the bit that I have discussed on this topic before i gave up on WIN 10 the updates provide important performance enhancements which is great if you have a newer laptop that can utilize it to its fullest not so good if you have a laptop that is already struggling another important feature of updates is security.

Windows 8 ( never had it ) i heard was an abomination of a OS and this is agreed upon by all people on the web lol and when tech guys agreee on something you know it must be thruth because they love arguing. If you are still on 8 it may be worthwhile to check out 10 ( Make sure you can rollback in the case it makes things worse ) although for older laptops ten takes a lot of configuration to get running smoothly like everything after windows seven, options almost seem hidden you have to go through a few online tutz to find them i know i did.

To be dead honest with you, I loved windows all the way to seven, after 8 and 10 my next laptop will be a Mac ( even though i dont like them )

Lastly airflow is good, so no glogging in that part. When last have blown out the laptop case for dust ? Dust can also wreak havoc as a static component inside the case.

Ive done a few blow outs before and man it changed my laptop it almost felt it ran faster.

What temps did you get on your gpu and cpu ?
Thanks for this detailed response. I am going to research each of the points mentioned and revert.
