  • I know you said that you checked the health of your SSD, but did you use the manufacturer’s program to do so? I find SMART tables aren’t nearly as accurate for solid state drives as they are for spindle drives.

    It’s unlikely that it’s the CPU. I recommend, if you’re able, to grab a copy of Parted Magic and boot into that live environment to see if the issue persists. Any live distro will work but I highly recommend PM since it is packaged for troubleshooting.








  • A fresh install, in theory, would always be better or preferred. That being said, Windows has improved a lot, so much so, that many users don’t reinstall the OS every 3-5 years like many did decades ago.

    So if you don’t notice any problems, you’re probably okay. Still, it would’ve been better to just install Windows 11 from the start.
