Today, I removed my SSD C drive and installed a clone from the CD made
about a year ago, as a backup. This happened to be on a 1 TB WD black,
but that isn't important. The computer booted up afer reassigning the
boot drive, and the only issue I found was that Microsoft for some
reason wanted me to verify myself. Once that was done, windows ran
normally, no delays in either Photoshop or in my genealogy program. So
after a few minutes of checking everything, I shut down and
re-installed the Intel SSD. Booted it up and checked a few programs,
and so far, no delays, everything is snappy! The only thing that I
know of that was changed, is that I verified myself to Microsoft.
Could that somehow have been what was causing the slowdown?

By swapping the drive over you also reseated the SATA connector I
presume. Maybe that was loose and causing errors.
