Windows 10: How to stop Windows from optimizing Solid State Drive

As the subject says, how can I stop Windows from optimizing my SSD? Isn't it bad for SSD to get defragmented? Please help : I am no expert to computers but I've read some articles that optimizing SSD is bad. It reduces the lifespan of the drive.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) seen as Solid State Drive in Optimize Drives

Hi there,

I've noticed that when I tried to optimize and run defragmentation on my hard drive, the Optimize Drive window shows that I have only Solid State Drives. Which is not true because I have a 500 GB HDD plus a small SDD (for booting up i think).



By the way, here is my hardware from my C:\ drive :



Wondering if you guys know what to do about this?

Thanks.

 

Upgrading to a solid state drive

I am considering upgrading to a Solid State Drive.

I have two basic questions that I hope someone can help me with.

• I am running Windows 10 Professional. It was the free upgrade offered for Win 7 users. If I upgrade will I have any problems reinstalling/switching to the new SSD? Is there anything I should be aware of before upgrading?
• I have upgraded hard drives many times over the years but this is my first Solid State upgrade. In the past I was always upgrading to a larger drive. Drive software always allowed me to clone to a larger drive. This time, I will be using a smaller SSD for
  my operating system, 250 GB. My current Sata drive is 1 Tb. How do I proceed? If I simply install the smaller SSD, how do I get windows 10 on the drive? Do I install my original Windows 7 operating system and upgrade again? Will that work again? Or is there
  a way to get the Win 10 license key and install Win 10 and use that key. If so, how do I get that key.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unable to Install Sea Of Thieves on Solid State Drive

I had Sea of Thieves installed on my harddrive, but the load times were slow so I wanted to switch it to my solid state drive. I took the following steps.

• Uninstalled Sea of Thieves
• Navigated to the microsoft store and selected install
• Selected C: drive (which is my ssd) as the install location
• After completing the download I get the error: "Couldn't install. We'll retry shortly".

I've attempted this twice with no luck. It's a large download so it takes a long time to retry, I'm hoping for an easy resolution to get this installed on my C: drive.

Thank you,

Josh
