I see that you have at least two backup solutions installed, FBackup and CrashPlan. I don't think you need more than one backup solution. CrashPlan is a paid online storage service, while i have never heard of Fbackup before. I see that it is just a client working with Google Drive servers. I suggest you to uninstall FBackup and download the official Google Drive client from HERE in case you want to use Google Drive. With Windows 8.1 you have OneDrive built in by default into the OS. I suggest that you choose between OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and CrashPlan and select only one of your choice. You should always keep a backup of your important files like photos, documents, music, videos etc. For that you can use a cloud service or a dedicated USB or your external hard drive, I recommend using one of the services above. They create a special folder on your PC and sync it with every change to the cloud.
OK, because of the way my mind works, I have to take small "baby-steps" with all this. And for this baby-step, at this time, I just want to move my files from the C drive to the D drive, (where they will remain). Then I need to get Windows 10 on my computer. Backing up everything on my system comes next.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see that you have Spybot installed. You should use it just as a second opinion on demand scanner and not use its real time protection along with Avira's one. To disable it do all of the steps HERE.
I searched and found a place with an icon that gave me the menu that I can right-clicked on to get the option you mentioned. I clicked "Run as administrator." At the top of the START CENTER window, it says INTERNET PROTECTION: OFF, and then there's a the red 'x' symbol. It looks like Internet Protection is off. There's nothing that says, "Real Time Protection." I went where you told me to... and there's nothing that says, "Live Protection Status."

Your PC is good and you shouldn't run into slowdown issues.
Lots of people are having similar problems. I'm not gonna replace the CPU, or anything like that! I tried almost everything, and nothing worked! At this time, my solution for this problem is to just totally switch of the computer after choosing HIBERNATE, or SHUTDOWN from the menu. So far I've tested HIBERNATE, and if works. When I turn the computer on again, it comes up just the way I left it, with everything open.

How did you copied your C:\ drive, you just opened the C:\ drive, selected all folders and copied and pasted them into D:\? These are important questions.
Yes. I pressed CTRL+A, and chose COPY from the menu that appeared when I right-clicked.
It started copying... but then I got that message. "You'll need to provide administrative permission to copy this folder."

Have you installed EIZO EasyPix on D:\ drive or you just copied it there? What have you copied in Documents on D, did you copied all of your videos, music, documents and important personal files there?
I don't know about the EasyPix. If I copied it from C to D, wouldn't it be on both drives now? Otherwise, if there's only one instance of that program, it wasn't copied. It was installed.
Most of the files and folders, (such as DOCUMENTS ON D), were already on the D drive. Only a small amount of data was saved to the C drive by my wife. My drawings were already on the D drive. There's no music or videos.

And for what do you use the NEW BACKUP Folder? Please answer these questions so i can understand exactly what is the status of your PC.
I intended to put all the stuff copied from the C drive, in that folder... but I never got that far. After everything was copied to the clipboard, I would try choosing PASTE, in that folder.

I don't think it's possible to clean out all the junk that way unless you have an almost infinite amount of time to work on it. And I'm slow. So I'd need even more time! 
But then at some point, soon, I need to learn how to reinstall Win 10, clean. I'm not sure if you were able to get anything out of the picture I sent you of the back of the external drive.
