He briefly answered that in post #3.
If the copying process is getting blocked or having issues due to something with software, naturally there wouldn't be any drive utilization which is why I had OP focus on software related possibilities.
I would have also tried connecting the new drive externally using a dock or an adapter just to see if it worked better because it would be using a different Bus/Channel/drivers.
If it worked (or much better) then it'd have pointed to the possibility of an unusual hardware-software combo issue which, for me, might have signaled the need for a fresh Windows install.
