Define underperforming, what laptop? What tasks are you doing? Are you using it all day?
fair trellis
First, reset it with windows installation media as this can remove manufacturer bloatware
Then make absolutely sure the graphics card drivers are installed from the manufacturers site
Then yeet it out the window

Well to define under performance first 🤷♂️
All be good but if it’s working as intended and not as he is thinking 💭
First need to be sure that’s not the case to make sure he is not disappointed
Well he already is🤷♂️
What specs are we talking about?
What are you getting and what is your expectation 🧐

@cyan kayak pixel i recommend doing a new install just take a USB drive 18GB or over then go download a win creation tool or iso and create a bootable drive then boot into bios and select your USB the process is simple

I would recommend installing a custom debloated windows iso (If u know how to install all the drivers) Also u could try unparking your cores, undervolting, overclocking gpu, debloating your current windows version as well as turning off windows update and caching for the best performance possible (each topic is covered by various verified youtube content creators, so you don't have to worry about bricking your device if u follow it thoroughly 😉 )

1st thing: how old is that install? If older than 2 years, try installing a fresh OS. I personally would suggest a Linux distro for best performance
2nd thing: Is there a lot of dust in the Laptop?

You can reinstall all you want that laptop isn’t gonna magically feel better 😅
oak frigate
obviously, but it could get a lot better
a 7500U is okay.. ish.
For basic tasks it’s fine

Well it’s a laptop cpu so already not great and depending on the laptop cooling capacity could be even worse 😅
Opening the laptop and replacing all thermal compound and cleaning fans and stuff could be quite helpful

i had a very similar laptop before i fried it, have you tried cleaning the laptop
with those specs it should be very snappy for daily tasks
it could be overheating so it could be hardware issue rather than software issue, disassembling the laptop and cleaning the cooling assembly then reapplying thermal paste should do the job
disassembly of your laptop looks pretty straightforward too, its an easy job
