I recently bought a new graphics card and when I started to play games I had a lot less fps than with the old one and a bunch of lags. I noticed that my processor goes to 100% even with the smallest thing like minecraft. Is there a way to fix it?
My system:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro, 64 bit, Build 22000, Installed 20210906210700.000000+060
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 10, CPU Count: 6
Total Physical RAM: 16 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Hard Drives: A: 2794 GB (1289 GB Free); C: 110 GB (4 GB Free);
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H310M DS2, ver x.x, s/n Default string

Because i have to remove everything from the hdd cause the launchers are on the ssd and they won't find the games there and there are many corrupted files on the hdd so why not
Launchers, like Steam?

If so, you do NOT need to download those games again.

You install a NEW Steam client after the new OS install.
Then, you can tell that client where those games live on the other drive.

I believe Origin has a similar function.


But if there are corrupted files on the HDD, then yes, you may as well start over completely.

What do you mean by launchers? Just the shortcuts? I remove my drives with my Steam library all the time when I do an OS install. Why are there "many corrupted files" on the HDD?

Honestly, this whole PC is a mess. Enough that downloading a whole bunch of things is probably worth it. You really need to pay more attention to PC upkeep in the future.

Epic is a mess in this regard, unlike Steam, which is very good at dealing with new installs, but I've used this in the past and it works.

Do you actively work to keep things sorted and fixed? PCs have upkeep. You need to pay attention to where you're installing things. What things are stored in folders, what's needed and what isn't, what's important and what's not. If you don't want to buy a more appropriate OS drive, you have to be extremely vigilant about managing your storage space.

Bottom line, though...your usage has outrun the size of that SSD.

120GB SSDs have not been a viable size for years, unless you are rabid about keeping the usage down.
Most people are not.

And the WD Green was never a good choice.
It says my pc doesn't supports windows 11 even if i have it already
 
Why would you have to download 1.5tb back?
Your os drive is only 120gb.
Everything else is on your 2nd hard drive.
Install windows on your boot drive.
Now install drivers and updates.
Many programs like steam can be reinstalled on your second drive and then just point your library to where it is on your data drive.
You can also move picture/media/download folders to your data drive and after reinstall point new windows to these folders.
Your current OS drive is a wreck.
Move all of the data you want to save to a back.
Dis connect all drives except boot drive.
Install windows, then all motherboard and video card drivers, then all windows updates. You can pre download drivers to a usb thumb drive for easy access during install.
Now connect your data drive and install all programs to your data drive. And point them to the existing data folders.
If all is solved ,buy a larger boot drive and clone your new speedy OS drive to it.
