I have a Vaio ultrabook with hybrid drive SSHD (30GB SSD and 500 GB SATA).

PROBLEM: Until upgrade from W8.1 it was booting and running much faster than now after upgrade to W10.

I cannot roll back to W8.1 (deleted .old and passed the 30 day period)
Got a pre-upgrade disk image on an external HD but only recovery media for W10 (memory stick).
I am running Intel Rapid Storage (please see dumps below).

My impression is that the SSD data volume is no longer being used for boot/startup (e.g. diskpart shows it's empty).

Can anyone help me to fix this?
Is W10 not supporting SSHD like W8.1 did?
Can I manully move OS to SSD data volume? And boot from there?

Any advise welcomed!


Below some dumps for info.

Same problem!
I gave up and put a normal SSD in my laptop, which worked great. I then put the SSHD in an old desktop, and clean reinstalled Windows 10. I wasn't hoping for much but I had run out of plain HDDs so it was worth a try. It worked! Boot times around 15 seconds, most things instant, basically like new. I'm not sure if reinstalling Windows fixed the problem, or transferring it to another system, but it worked.
I'd suggest a Windows reinstall then, if not fit a SSD.
