3. Check your cooling and clean the dust from your computer

According to some users, Windows 10 is throttling your CPU when the temperature gets over 71 Celsius while older versions of Windows don’t do that. Why does this happen, we aren’t sure, but it might help if you clean your fan from dust, or by adding an additional cooling. If you’re not sure how to do it, please contact a professional.
