Currently have had my sandisk 128gb for over a year, had about 11 GB free, before things hit the fence. My wireless card started to act up, I'd have to switch between my 2.4 & 5ghz connections to get it to work, but also my computer would become unresponsive & freeze for a couple of seconds. Of course when I was shutting it down windows decided to finally do the anniversary update & with my wireless card acting up it never finished.


Now I am pretty sure my OS got corrupted because of this because it either boots into Windows normally and everything is worse than before (just not responsive at all) or says I need to repair. I am going to do a fresh install of Windows with my recovery disk I have but I was wondering if it's best to do the install on a fresh new SSD instead of the one I currently have? I'd rather not obviously to not spend some extra money rn. Any additional/help is appreciated
 
Solution
Once you manage to log in, open command prompt in admin mode and type in sfc/scannow
This should repair windows files that are corrupted.
Run virus scans.

If nothing works, you're better off formatting the drive and installing a fresh copy of windows.
