all the best, bluesfloyd

You might fill out your system specs with considerably more detail so prospective helpers have a better idea of your situation.

Generally---trim doesn't require manual intervention.

About all I'd worry about is defrag off, alignment known to be proper, partitions as I want them, and benchmarked performance known to be similar to other SSDs of that model and size. You can tweak hibernation or page file size or space devoted to System Restore if you have any concerns about insufficient space on the SSD.
