Thanks for all the input everyone. I did a search of the forum before I posted and saw several others had mentioned it working well on their W10, so I figured it must be a software or driver conflict.

Thanks theducks for the FAQ... I didn't realize there was a list of known conflicts like that, but it does seem to confirm what all of you are saying - likely just one piece of software causing the conflict.

I have been using the Windows 10 imaging backup software - works great. I haven't made a recent backup though, so thanks for the reminder, haha!

Anyway, when I get a bit of time to test, I'll do the whole turning off programs one-by-one thing (maybe try the safe mode first... by the way, how do you boot into safe mode on Windows 10? it starts up so fast [maybe because of the SSD], I can't tell what buttons to push for anything, even a BIOS notification doesn't seem to come up). All in all, it shouldn't take too long, because especially if I'm editing an ebook, it seems to always freeze within 5 minutes each time. (It's just been really annoying having to remember to save so frequently.)
