Trek 7100 - should i take it back??

yesterday i bought a trek 7100. its a bike with a smooth ride, except my posture is way too upright on it. i thought it'd be okay during the test drive, but riding up hills is difficult. I prefer leaning forward more. It was kind of difficult to get moving on it, like I think I put a lot of effort into riding (may be from lack of biking). It was windy however and about 45 degrees.

Should I just move the handlebars forward so Im leaning forwards more, or should I take it back and get another bike???
