These are the system requirements: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/productinfo/vs2017-system-requirements-vs

However, if you're running several other software like a browser, office and video player, your pc will run very slow as the processor cannot handle all that

Try running Visual Studio alone, with nothing else running

And check which programs/apps are running in the background

ok, if you are noticed there are three types of versions, the comunnity versión, that has the basic tools for developers, the profesional versión that has a lot of web tools, and diagnistic tolos, and finally the Enterprise versión, this last has a lot of capabilities for all the types of developers, since a console app and another tolos like web services, plotting.

That spec PC is slow by today's standards. I would run an older version of Visual Studio (e.g. 2013 version) for reasonable performance. If you really want to develop for only Windows 10 then 2017 Community Edition will be the lightest version, but I think it will really struggle.
