    Well it would make sense that if the os was struggling with a piece of hardware it could impact performance all round... updating software static hardware, do you think when windows updates it takes into consideration all the manufactures... I dont think thats possible. Perhaps you damaged the wifi card. Perhaps the new update caused some issues compatibility wise which slowed the pc in general. You could have tried a roll back.

    But I mean you solved the issues for a R100 no less, thats a good deal any day

    Something I will keep in mind for the future.

    If your computer is running slow just replace the current Hard drive with a SSD harddrive.

    It's time to upgrade to an SSD if you're still using a mechanical hard drive in your computer. An SSD is the single biggest upgrade you can give your computer, and prices have come down dramatically. Solid-state drives are so much faster because they don't have a spinning magnetic platter and moving head.

    The guys at Itrinity cloned my hardrive and added more memory. PC running amazingly fast.
