I was trying to upgrade an HP 15-F009WM notebook that was running slowly, and now it became twice slowly.
It had a WD 320GB SATA HDD and 4GB RAM. After replacing the HDD with a Kingston 120GB SSD and adding a Kingston 4GB SODIMM RAM card.
I thought it was related to the OS so I have installed Windows 10 twice (from different media drives), always using MediaCat bootable tool.
I also tried to update Windows 10 with Window Update but it did nothing. It is so slow that whenever you use the touch pad the response is delayed a few seconds and is almost impossible to follow the pointer or even writting.
What I tried
- Replacing the SODIMM cards between each other or using one or another
- Reinstalling Windows 10
- Updating Windows 10
- Updating BIOS drivers
I have tried running some tests in the SSD HDD and in the memory using MediaCat MiniWindow, where I did not see any of the "lags". None of the tests showed any troubles in the SSD HDD or in the memory.
Two things I will try after installing remaining drivers are: Installing Windows 7 instead, or replacing the SSD HDD with the old SATA.
I found this question but it "hasn't" any answers on it...
Any suggestions?
