Hi Graham,
I'm just wondering how old your machine is if it was running xp?
Can you post the make and model of your machine please.
SSD's always run better on AHCI mode as opposed to IDE so check in your Bios to see if you have that option.
Also up to date SATA drivers would help. Did you install any drivers for the storage controllers?
OK - does this help:

I have tried update in the storage controller but it tells me that the optimum driver is installed.
I will have to shut down/restart and check the BIOS.
Thing is, it's running Windows 10 perfectly! The only problem is the clean boot message. And as I said earlier, if I put the old HDD with Windows 10 back in it boots with no problem.

Add - can't immediately spot anything relating to AHCI in BIOS but then again, not too sure quite where I might find it.
