I have 2 SSDs. The main one has windows 10 OS and when it's plugged in, it slows everything to a crawl and will not boot normally. Booting normally takes 20+ minutes. When using a windows 10 recover USB, it takes 20 minutes to boot into it and every button takes 20-30+ minutes to get to the next screen.
To clarify about not booting normally, it will always spend a long time on "preparing automatic repair" and eventually boot to a black screen where I can move and see my cursor. But that is it. Keyboard doesn't seem to do anything. Can't click anything.
The second SSD has windows 7 installed from forever ago but booting into that seems fine at first but then then mouse and keyboard don't work at all once in windows 7 even though things are loading so it isn't frozen.
If I remove the main SSD, everything on the computer runs faster again. The USB recovery works at a normal speed and windows 7 boots at a normal time but still no mouse/keyboard input works.
What are my options for making my computer usable? Preferably without nuking everything? It feels like data is still there on my main SSD if I could save that before a wipe, but just it being plugged in makes it near impossible to actually do anything.
I know this is probably a lot of text so I really appreciate anyone taking the time to read and help out with this!
