Glad you got it back up and running. Yeah, once you convert to SSD it will be hard to go back to a platter type hard drive. Unfortunately software bloat typically slows windows down after awhile (meaning you don't see that snappy SSD performance forever), so the only way to get back to virgin level performance is a clean windows install which is a PIA.

I actually see a definite improvement every time I execute CCleaner(except my bank then doesn't recognize me :( ). It currently seems 'snappy' inspite of windows being the same(bloated) as it was prior to cloning. I have yet to run ccleaner on the SSD.
