Hey there, @ChrisTsall99!

You should always use a genuine Windows operating system, so I'd strongly recommend you get an authentic OS activation code!
The 100% Usage could also be caused by some Windows Services, so i'd strongly recommend you check your Resource monitor and Task Manager (processes). Another thing that might help is swapping the SATA cable and the SATA port where your WD Blue is connected to and check its performance in another PC, if you have access to one. This will easily help you determine what could be the cause of the issue.

Again, I'd strongly recommend contacting MS support for a genuine activation code.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
