If you don't need Windows-specific functionality (e.g. web browsing is enough), you should try installing some Linux distribution. Linux Mint, for example, is both fast and easy to use.
If you want to stick with Windows though, there is a fix for the slow updates. You need to manually install a certain update, after which the rest will go quickly. Unfortunately I don't remember the specifics, but I have two links that you might find helpful:
