x230 running slowly after migration
x230 running slowly after migration
Hi so after an accident I purchased a new x230 and switched out the hard drive and memory with my old ones, it's now running slowly, do i need to re-install windows and all the drivers? it's the same specs.

Re: x230 running slowly after migration
If you want it to run faster, upgrading to SSD is a good idea.

Could it be lacking the same BIOS updates as the one before?

Re: x230 running slowly after migration
When in doubt, monitor the CPU speed (check if it's somehow limited to low speeds) and temperatures (if it's overheating to the extent that the CPU is forced to throttle).

A BIOS setting that kept the CPU at a low clock speed?
