Hi,
I have had this laptop for about 4 years now. It is running very slow now and I need it to function faster. It is having very slow loading times. I currently run webroot and have scanned for viruses, I have also used CCleaner to try and speed things up but to no avail.
My question is: Will an AMD A8 APU be able to support the WD black. Also, will the 7200 rpm drive give a considerable improvement to the 5400rpm drive I have now with the A8?
Also, if I was to replace the hard drive I assume I would need to re-install the OS. This wouldn't be an issue but I don't have the disk or the code as it didn't come with the laptop so will I have to buy a new OS or can I get it transferred over somehow?
Thanks.
