Question Bluetooth not working and wifi much weaker after reinstalling Windows 10 on new SSD ?

[Thunder7542]

I recently reinstalled windows on my ssd and also upgraded the case, ram, and psu. My motherboard is the Hp Odense2-k. (It is from a prebuilt). My gpu is the GeForce gtx 1060 3gb. After installing windows on the ssd I noticed a couple of things:

1. The Bluetooth no longer works
2. The wifi connection is much weaker than before.

Things I have tried to fix this:

• Update and reinstall drivers in device manager
• Update and download drivers in hp support and intel driver assistant
• Resetting the PC
• Tried many windows troubleshooters.
• Much more that I can’t remember

Any suggestions or possible solutions?

What WIFI are you using? did you attach the antenna/aerial?
Bluetooth and WIFI often on the same chip, so I think we find both problems are related. Possibly happened when you swapped the case maybe

Motherboard doesn't seem to have any WIFI - https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05355651

So is it a USB stick or an add on card?

Nope, no Wi-Fi card or usb stick. Don’t think the motherboard has built in wifi either.

The wifi connection is much weaker than before.

so how are you getting any WIFI if you don't have a way of receiving it?

What Bluetooth do you have? a dongle?

motherboard has a m2 wlan key A socket
could be any add in card.
I would put the computer in high Performance mode then reboot and see if the bluetooth/wifi come back. If so then I would be looking for a bug in sleep states. Many old drivers would not go into low power, I expect the new default window drivers do.
most common real fix would be a bios update if you can get one.

you could run this and see if intel detect the card:
