Hey! I recently bought a new hard drive to upgrade my pc, as my pc had/has a 280 gb HDD, this old HDD has windows 7 on it and runs it perfectly.
I installed the new HDD while taking the old one out since i only have 1 sata cable, i installed windows 10 on this HDD because i wanted to check it out, but after a day of trying it i decided it wasn´t really for me, so i decided to downgrade it to windows 7 since i liked it more. Take in mind that the short time i had windows 10 on it it ran really smoothly, no problems there at all.
Problems arose as soon as i finished installing windows 7, the installation went by without any problems and desktop appeared without any problems, at least for a while. Short time after using it wallpaper turned black, and no, it wasn´t the "unoriginal windows" black wallpaper, there was no unnoriginal windows watermark, besides the fact that i was still on trial period. As soon as the wallpaper turned black whole pc started to get laggy/slow, it was really messy, i didn´t mind it much and just changed the wallpaper to another one, but the pc was way too slow, i mean, the minimizing animation windows 7 plays by default was changed to a blinking window before dissapearing and text sometimes blinked like it couldn´t render it, i got so frustrated that i decided to wipe the disk clean thinking it had something to do with downgrading from windows 10 to windows 7. So i clean installed windows 7 from scratch, and same problem happened, i installed all the upgrades and all the drivers my pc needed and yet it was the same. I put on my old hard drive to test if it was my pc, but windows 7 runs perfect here. What i don´t really understand is why windows 10 ran smoothly on the new HDD while windows 7 ran so sluggish, is it the hard drive´s fault?
