I have recently cloned my old HDD of my laptop to a new Kingston HyperX Savage. But it only shows half the speeds it should get. I followed the tips from this thread:

How can I determine the SATA controller version on Windows?

and found out that the SSD is currently running in SATA 2 mode but both my motherboard controller and the disk, of course, supports SATA 3. Can I just switch modes? Or how do fix this issue? Reinstall Windows 10 (I upgraded from Windows 8.1 which in turn was upgraded from Win7)?

It is actually far simpler than reinstalling Windows and such.

Connect the Kingston HyperX Savage to a SATA3 connector on your motherboard. Refer to its instruction manual to find out which one is SATA3. (It may have a mix of SATA2 and SATA3 connectors.)
