Is This Normal?

To make sure you're booting from the SSD, try and prompt for the boot menu/manager (usually f12) and select the SSD.

 

In any case, this really isn't going to work. You can't swap drives like that, and expect to be able to boot with it.

 

The Windows issue sounds like some issue with your Windows installation. I could try a check the file system with the following command (in Admin mode through cmd prompt):

You might need to be in safe mode to do it*

 

sfc /scannow

That sometimes fixes an error an sometimes it does not, either way my primary machine still continues freezing on the boot logo sometimes.

I actually got a school computer to boot from my SSD AND WORK! WTF LOL!

It is similar to my primary PC in that it only wants to boot to Windows Boot Manager, and it does not like booting to the actual drive....

Shouldn't be happening. Your first issue is switching machines without reinstalling, much less switching architectures. 

heh heh. It's kind of a crap shoot with this.

I switched from AMD CPU and GPU to Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU without reinstalling without problems (i've since reinstalled), but i've also run into problems with it.

OP, Make sure you have AHCI set in your BIOS.
