Steps to do
Test with a performance test tool: I used userbenchmark. It gives you a nice report on what is doing good what is doing bad.
E.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/48037775
One of my issues was that my performance mode of “Control Center 3.0” was on Quiet mode which is better for ears but worse for performance 😉
For daily/normal use one can enable Entertainment and for heavy application: Performance can be used.
Apart from the slow new laptop … I seemed to suffer from network / Internet interruption. My Internet connection is pretty stable. So did some research turned out, there are option for your ethernet connection to be in a ‘green’ mode.
See this post for how to resolve this:

Another sympton my laptop suffered from was: BSOD (blue screen of death) code: 0x00000133 with codes like: ntoskrnl.exe+3f72a0 and ntoskrnl.exe+41f67e , DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION …
Ok, I knew memory dumps are available but how to analyse those?
Luckily I found some nice tools on https://www.resplendence.com
One software tool WhoCrashed allows you to analyze those dumps (typically under C:\Windows\Minidump and/or C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP)
On Fri 19/11/2021 20:01:25 your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\111921-6406-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: storport.sys (storport+0xad4d)
Bugcheck code: 0x133 (0x1, 0x1E00, 0xFFFFF800070FB320, 0x0)
Error: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\storport.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: Microsoft Storage Port Driver
Bug check description: The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This could be caused by either a non-responding driver or non-responding hardware. This bug check can also occur because of overheated CPUs (thermal issue).
The crash took place in a storage driver or controller driver. Since there is no other responsible driver detected, this could be pointing to a malfunctioning drive or corrupted disk. It's suggested that you run CHKDSK.
