    Can I remove a added ssd for storage, and reset laptop to original condition?


    Hi,

    I hope someone can help?


    I added an ssd to my Asus laptop and have since reinstalled Windows10. My question is.. can I remove my ssd and reset laptop, and then insert the same ssd once again?


    Hopefully this is possible.


    Many thanks.

    :)

    Counterflix ad removal

    What suggestions did you receive from McAfee?

    Did you try the Emsisoft Emergency Kit? How about the Eset Online Scanner?

    Did you follow ALL of the steps in https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-counterflix-ads/ and reset all browsers.

    Should SSD's be defragmented


    Unlike defragging, Trim on an SSD is just Trim, it doesn't matter which program initiates it the results will be exactly the same. Trim doesn't move files, trim resets storage locations on the SSD that have had data previously stored there. There are two steps required to make a storage location available on an SSD. The first step is to delete the previous data. The second step is to reset the storage location for reuse. The first step is done on-command at the moment it is required. The second step is only performed when either there are no more reset data locations available for use or periodically, hopefully during idle periods. By waiting for an idle period to do the second step, the SSD performance is increased. The second step is the trim operation.

    Windows 10 reset on a Star Wars special edition notebook


    There's no need to reset the laptop. Simply create a new user account for you, change its account type to administrator (all new accounts after the first initial one are standard accounts when created), sign out from the original account, sign in to your new account and finally remove the original account. Takes a few minutes, much faster than a full reset.
