Pc running slow after swapping main ssd disk.

So, my pc informed me that some files on my main disk had been corrupted. I tried to fix those with the tools on windows, but I couldn't. So I googled a bit and found out that best thing to do now was to buy a new disk. I bought a kingston 960gb disk, installed windows on that and everything seemed to work ok, until I noticed that my whole pc was running slower than before.

I tried to google for some help but I couldn't find anything that would fit my problem, so is there anyone here who might know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

    Please see the Display driver troubleshooting below:

    Option 1: Try Rolling back the Display driver.

    Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.

    Navigate to Display devices and expand it. Right-click the Display adapter.

    Choose Properties.

    On the Driver tab, click the Rollback Driver button to go back to the previous version.

    Option 2. Remove drivers completely and Install the newest ones available from the OEM or the maker.

    What you need to do:

    1. Uninstall everything of Display driver using DDU

    4. Wait for the process to complete.

    The first question to ask is: Is the new drive definitely quicker than the old drive? As in it's rated speeds etc

    Hey! It's always a little slower than before but especially in games it's running much slower. Task manager seems to be all good, Cpu at 5-12% memory at about 24% (I have 16Gb of ram) and GPU at around 5%

    Hi Juuso,

    I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

    When you say it is slow, does the Task Manager give any hint on what is taking the resources?
