Yes, however changing the HDD for a SSD will give you the biggest speed boost of all. You can then put the old HDD into an external drive case and use it as a back storage unit.

I have now installed this driver and also installed some of Asus software like "Gear 4 power" which now works
I have no idea what the ASUS ATK/ACPI driver is or does except some software now works with it installed which previously I hadn't bothered because I thought it was of no use after reading this
