I just installed an SSD in one of my laptops and I find the computer to be more sluggish than when I had the 7200 HDD in the machine.... I did run a test and did all optimizations I could think of... the SSD is an Intel branded drive if that matters
below is a pic of my crystal diskmark test.... is these speeds any good?

What did you expect? SSD is better for loading a program.
It never makes you CPU faster.
If you have enough memory, and if the OS will load everything you need into memory, the speed advantage of SSD goes away.
Here is a general reference:

However, the OS does better if it knows it is using a SSD and not a HDD. If the OS is not optimized for SSD, the advantages are not so good.
This is for windows 7 and might apply to Windows 10 also.

true but I was at least 100X better in terms of opening files and programs with the HDD than with this SSD... I have 8 GB of ram in this machine so that shouldn't be the cause of the slowness... also just using the machine in general I notice alot more freezing/stuttering with this SSD than I ever did with the HDD

Those speeds look normal for an SSD.
