Would upgrading the motherboard and processor due to the machine running slowly be a good solution? Ever since the windows 10 upgrade it seems like the machine is running really slow. Start up time has really changed. Unsure if its the old components or something else. Looking for some advice and possibly recommendations to ensure everything remains compatible if I upgrade the MOBO and processor
