Key Highlights: Trim SSD on Windows 10

• What is Trim?: Trim is a command that informs the SSD about unused data blocks that can be erased, improving performance and extending the lifespan of the drive.
• Check if Trim is Enabled: Use the command `fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify` in Command Prompt to check if Trim is enabled (value "0" means enabled).
• Enable Trim (If Disabled): Run the command `fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0` in Command Prompt to enable Trim.
• Manually Run Trim: Open Defragment and Optimize Drives, select your SSD, and click Optimize to run Trim manually.
• Scheduling Trim: Windows 10 automatically schedules Trim to run regularly through the Scheduled Defragmenter tool, ensuring your SSD is optimized without manual intervention.
• Additional SSD Care Tips: Avoid filling the SSD to capacity (keep under 75% usage). Disable traditional defragmentation for SSDs. Update SSD firmware regularly to ensure optimal performance.

By enabling and running Trim, you help maintain your SSD’s speed and longevity!
