    windows 10 optimize drives


    hi, guys

    was on windows 7, put a new ssd drive into this laptop ( samsung evo 850) used there magician software to help it run better, but did turn off defrag when on win7, got the free version of windows 10 on the above laptop, checked the defrag option was turned off in windows 10, found this image below,

    do only let magician software looking after the ssd ????

    do i run the windows 10 optimize drives option, or keep it turned off, yes/no ????

    ps/ i turned windows 10 optimize drives off for the moment, just playing safe

    thanks for your time guys,

    Hello bluesfloyd, :)

    No worries. The "Optimize Drives" feature in Windows 10 will automatically TRIM a SSD and only defrag a HDD.

    hi, guys
    do I keep the windows 10 optimize drives/ and magician software enable, so they both look after the SSD together ????
    or do i only have one enabled ????

    all the best,

    You could use both or either one if you like. I'd say go with the one you like best. :)
