What I usually do is use the OS the laptop comes with since a clean install today is too much work.
I use the OS the machine comes with or order restore media if I forgot to make them.
But why bother with sleep? Just let it hibernate. Works great on my laptop and yes, I have the SSD.
Time to go back to stock. Painful but I've seen too many Windows that are blown up with registry tweeks and cleaners. At some point we call it and use the factory issued OS to do over.
I'm having pretty good luck with Windows 10 but still having to go old school for BIOS and drivers just like it was 1995.
I'm thinking in installing old HDD back, do factory reset, connect new SSD via USB-SATA Cable, migrate reseted HDD to SSD with Samsung Data Migration (or similar software), get old HDD out and put the new SSD back in.
Does that have sense?
Folks are migrating to SSD a lot more now. So we clone the drive (migrate?) with tools like Apricom and others.
I'll update some drivers and test if problem still there, i'll give a try to windows 10. If non of those options works, i'll try doing a factory reset in the old HDD and clone it to the new SSD, i'll let you know the result.
Updating to Windows 10 seems to be the solution (weird...)
But this problem sometimes come back, so I'll let you know tomorrow.
