Issues with laptop after SSD drive was intalled

Apr 6, 2018 7:51AM PDT

I recently had an SSD drive installed on my laptop. After that when I try to use IE or Chrome my laptop keeps reloading pages, saying it can't open pages on first try (i have to refresh), saying it doesn't have enough memory, and freezes.

The freezing of the laptop also happens sometimes when using word, excel etc. Ever since the new drive was installed the laptop is running slower as well.

I have windows 10. How do I fix this?!

I can't tell what method they used and you didn't tell. We usually clone the system to the SSD to avoid driver and other issues.

I didn't have this kind of issues after replacing the HDD by an SSD, so I assume either the tech did something wrong or something ele happend incidentally at the same time. Back to the tech and complain. Let him fix it.
