I am glad you fixed your computer.  Laptops with only one drive are 
always a challenge (compromise?).


I rarely do in-place major version upgrades.  A fresh install of a 
stable OS onto a secure erased SSD in a major brand computer almost 
always produces a good result, and eliminates the possibility of old 
cruft causing issues.
