Title: Just changed HDD to SSD
Post by: DoubleOhDave on August 06, 2016, 07:20:57 am

Hey guys,
first timer on here  :cheesy:

I recently changed my HDD which was just full of joyful gremlins for a SSD.

I understand that some stuff just shouldn't be done the same way as when I had a HDD; like defragging.

A couple of niggly issues are still on my laptop and I was planning on running Tweaking on my laptop (HP Pavillion, Windows 10 32 bit)

I have the Pro version of Tweaking.

Question: Is this okay to do on a SSD, and are there any parts of the process I should avoid doing on a SSD?

Thanks

Dave

WR basically works on the registry and I would run a sfc /scannow instead of chkdsk /f

When Windows detects a SSD is being used, it auto enables TRIM but to see if it is active on your machine, use the commands in this article -

To reduce the writes, when using a SSD you can disable Hibernate with this command run from a command prompt run as an administrator -

powercfg -h off

exit

This will also free up a few GB on the SSD.
