Did you try booting in FIFA mode?

New laptop?

Did you try booting in legacy mode and turning off Secure Boot?

Windows 7 clearly doesn't have the drivers for newer hardware, so you might want to just install Windows 10...

Yeah, just grab Rufus and use it to create a bootable USB drive from your ISO file.

Go ahead and install Chrome.

Is the file system NTFS or GPT?

You probably should have booted into legacy mode and wiped all those partitions before starting the installation...

Maybe try a different CD. Or you could just try booting from a USB drive.

It’s not even the worst part.

Why not just let it finish its update? If you cut it off halfway through, you might end up with some corrupted files, and then you'll be stuck needing a full reinstall anyway...

Yeah, you should definitely check out the manual to see how it's done, but just a heads-up: updating your graphics card drivers won't touch your computer's BIOS.

To actually update the BIOS, you'll need to manually download the BIOS file along with the update utility and run it yourself—it isn't an automatic process. Even Windows updates don't handle BIOS updates...

You can't update the BIOS that way, and neither can you update the graphics card drivers.

Have you tried testing this in different browsers? Specifically using an EU-based connection?

Turning off updates is a pretty bold move, especially if you don't really know what you're doing...

Run a full system scan on the computer.

Just grab the DAZ loader and run the activation...

Just throw in another stick of RAM and install Windows 7. I ran a similar setup once and it worked pretty well...

Are your other programs running okay?

Have you tried doing a quick reinstall of Chrome?

Anything is possible, really. I've got a 1TB WD external Hard Drive via USB 3.0, and while large files can hit about 100 MB/s, the average usually sits closer to 60-65 MB/s. My laptop is currently running on a standard 5400 rpm Hard Drive, though things would definitely run smoother if I switched over to an SSD.

If you really want to build it, go for it. Personally, I wouldn't bother, especially since you're already running two HDDs...

Maybe give it a shot with VLC.
