so my friend recently send me his old computer which ran perfectly fine for him. all i needed to get was the gpu which i did. after setting up the gpu and installing drivers, everytime i start up the computer it is very slow and even after 10 min or so passes, its still very slow. i cant play any game and anytime i try to load anything up its just unbearable. maybe upgrading to windows 10 and adding an ssd would help but idk if thats the problem. any help is appreciated!

When you received the computer, did you perform a clean re-installation of Windows? If not, you should do so. It would also be a good idea to test the hard drive and memory.
