It was, of course, I mean on one drive I've got 900 + Gigs of empty space, but it caused this latency issue. Now the game works smoothly in windowed/desktop mode as it should. I only hope this is just specific to SP.

Do you have power saving settings applied on your laptop - the C drive is likely to be always busy, so not put to sleep by battery savings, whereas a separate drive may be put into idle mode if it is not too frequently accessed. Kicking a sleeping drive from idle to read data is possibly why you are suffering from stuttering.

Or your D drive just may have longer latency compared with the C drive. Though C is always likely to be "spun up" in any case since the windows page swapping files live on it, so even if equal latencies, the spun-up c will be a tad faster.
