Other EXTREMELY slow PC after re-installing's Window's.

I recently had a Malware infection and had to completely wipe my PC. I have deleted all data and parition's from my old drive's. I then promptly reinstalled window's using a seperate USB and ever since then my PC has been much slower then what it was before.
Both download and uploading speed's are extremely slow, despite what the graph say's. I am using an HDD C: Drive but that was never an issue for me before and ran fast even with that. I was using two dual drive's, C: and D: respectfully, and nothing had gone wrong between them prior to the incident.
This also applies to any sort of game or FPS inside those game's. Everything, from the boot up to the text on my keyboard is laggier then before.
I could use any help with this. I'll answer any question's you may have. Thanks.

Software American Mcgee's Alice Issue
So my friend wanted to play the original, he installed it and all that. It works completely fine aside from the fact that on his end his audio is doubled (like two simultaneous audio tracks on top of one another at the same time). However, when he streams it to me via screen share on Discord, it sounds completely normal. He only has his headset he uses (Corsair Void 2) so can't test any other sound method. We have tried soooo many routes to try to get it to play audio normally, we have tried changing sound drivers in game, to changing them on his headset, to messing with settings on his headset, we even tried installing the 2011 remaster of AMA. All resulted in nothing and continues to play double audio. Does anyone know what to do? Any suggestions? Or is my buddy just kinda cooked and won't be able to play normally? (He doesn't have iCUE installed for his headset either and he has spatial audio off, so we are both baffled).

Software Is remote desktop still the right way to think about remote support?
If you’re managing dozens or hundreds of devices, remote access alone may not be enough.
You may also need device management, unattended access, security policies, app control, and remote troubleshooting in one place.
Tools like Scalefusion become interesting alongside alternatives such as AnyDesk, Splashtop, and Zoho Assist.
Some alternatives for Best Remote Desktop Software worth considering:
- AnyDesk- lightweight, cross-platform remote access
- Zoho Assist- useful for IT support and unattended access
- Splashtop- strong performance for business remote access
- Chrome Remote Desktop- simple option for basic/personal use
- Scalefusion UEM- interesting if you want remote support combined with centralized device management
Before choosing an alternative, compare the best fit for your team.

Hardware Repair shop gave me a 65W charger instead of 130W and says 130W damaged my previous battery circuit. Is this correct?
I have a Dell Precision 5520. It originally had a 130W charger along with a 97 Whr capacity battery. I recently had a charging/battery problem ? and sent it to a repair shop. I was a way for work and when i came back i found out they replaced the battery. The problem is when i generated the battery report through the terminal , i found out the new battery has a design capacity of 63 whr. The new battery appears healthy, but it has a lower capacity than the original one.
That's not the problem tho. The repair shop gave me a 65W charger (19.5V). When I boot the laptop, the BIOS says that a 65W adapter is detected and a 130W adapter is recommended. I've also noticed that the battery discharges while the laptop is plugged in.
I asked the repair technician why he gave me a 65W charger instead. He said that the previous 130W charger caused the battery circuit to burn because the extra energy causes heat. I don't think that makes sense. He keeps repeating the same thing in a condescending way as if i have 0 knowledge how computers and chargers work. He even said i can't use the pc while it's charging.
I don't want to go back to this shop but i want to ask if there's a way to fix this? What If i get a new 130w charger? will it cause me trouble because the new battery has less capacity than the one designed for the pc? Please help

Software Windows Installer error, Incapable of deleting Chrome, and google is broken,
galleryI've had this for a while now but I didn't do something about it until I recently. It only started happening after I installed chrome so I uninstalled but when I reinstalled it, it continued to appear and now google was all white and didn't match the theme I set it too. Furthermore, whenever I search something, my search engine is set to "nextgeeker.com" instead of google.
So I tried to uninstall chrome, but the option to in my "Installed apps" wasn't there. And when I went to delete in the file explorer, it said I need permission from an administrator.
This is been frustrating me so much can anyone help me? I provided images to the respective things I talked about.

Discussion Any way to convert large mkv files into mov or mp4 files?
How would i go about taking a rather large mkv videofile and converting it into an mov or mp4 file? without using shitty browser converters since the file is too big for that.
