When you did the upgrade, what did you upgrade?

If you've changed the motherboard, have you done a fresh install yet?

If you've changed the CPU (and only the CPU), well that shouldn't really cause any issues.

If you've changed the graphics card(s), have you fresh installed drivers using DDU?

If you've changed memory (and only memory), have you tried rebuilding the pagefile?

You should always do a fresh install when you change the motherboard, or else Windows becomes confused as all heck when it tries to use its logic (based on the old board) to run the new board.

Back your stuff up, then fresh install. No need to get rid of it when there's Google Drive.

Download 7-Zip and compress your files into Zip folders before uploading. This will reduce the size of the data that needs to be uploaded. When you put it on your new install, just unzip it and it'll be restored to its original size and functionality.
