There is a way through which you can make the things to work out for you and that is by reinstalling the complete operating system in a clean process. This means you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 as the operating system you have upgraded due to which the hardware is not able to work well with the new operating system. So not upgrade perform a clean setup installation and then see the conclusion.
