  2. SDD and a HDD windows 10

    I have Windows 10 installed on a 525gb SDD. I have a 1tb HDD that I'm using for my data. I've been reading a lot of conflicting tweaks to use on the SDD. Help!

    1. Should I eliminate the swap on the SDD? I do a have a windows managed swap file on the HDD.

    2. Should I turn off indexing on the SDD?

    3. Should I turn off system restore on the SDD?

    Most of the articles I've been reading have been a couple of years old. I know that the current SDDs are better but do these same tweaks apply now?

    Any info and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks
