Make Sure TRIM is Enabled
TRIM command allows notifying the SSD to wipe out data from blocks that are no longer in use. Erasing those blocks reduces the Write speed and maintains optimum performance throughout the lifespan.

By default, the TRIM feature should be enabled in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, but sometimes it may not happen. Here’s how you can ensure that TRIM is configured properly: sutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
After executing the command, you should get a result of zero (0), it means TRIM is enabled. If you get result as one (1), then it means TRIM is disabled. When TRIM is disabled in the system you should do the following: Open Command Prompt as an administrator, then Type in sutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify 0 It should enable the TRIM and you should get DisableDeleteNotify = 0
Set SATA controller to AHCI mode
SSD works better with AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) mode. Most of the modern motherboards SATA controller is set to AHCI by default, you can see it from Device Manager » IDE ATA/ ATPI controllers. If you see the SATA controller mode in IDE, do the following to change it from IDE to AHCI.
Update the SSD Firmware
To make sure your SSD is running as well as it can, it’s worth staying on top of firmware updates for it. Unfortunately, these aren’t automated; the process is irreversible and a bit more complex than, say, a software update. Each SSD manufacturer has their own method for SSD firmware upgrades, so you’ll need to go to the official websites of your SSD manufacturers and follow their guides from there.
Disable Indexing
A good part of your SSD speed is consumed in indexing files for Windows search. This could be useful if you store everything you have on your SSD, but you might be annoyed by it if you experience slow-downs due to the periodic indexing process that occurs every time you add new data to the drive. You’re better off without it in an SSD because the speed boost from the indexing process is superfluous in such environments. Once you do this the operating system will apply this to all the files and folders on the drive. If you see a dialog telling you that it couldn’t remove a file from the index, click “Ignore All.” That will streamline the process and ignore any errors.
Disable Prefetch and Superfetch
Windows sometimes places information in your physical memory and virtual memory belonging to programs that you don’t currently use but use very often. This is known as “Prefetch” and “Superfetch.” If you are stuck with having to cope with virtual memory on your SSD, you’re better off just doing away with these two features. You can find them on your registry editor under HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters As two values: “EnablePrefetcher” and “EnableSuperfetch.” Set both values to zero and be done with it!
Pagefile Managing
If you have a secondary drive, it’s best to put the pagefile on that drive rather than on your SSD. If you don’t have a secondary drive, you can reduce the pagefile size.
Disable ClearPageFileAtShutdown and LargeSystemCache
Windows is quick to implement things that are no longer necessary. An SSD operates on flash memory, making it possible to easily overwrite things on the disk. Therefore, the page file doesn’t need to be erased while the computer’s shutting down. This will make the Windows shutdown process much faster. LargeSystemCache, on the other hand, exists primarily in Server versions of Windows and tells the computer whether it should use a large cache for pages on the drive. Both these options are found in your registry editor under
Press Windows + R, type regedit and ok to open the windows registry editor.Then navigate to the following pathComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Current\ControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory ManagementDouble click on memory management and set its value to 0
Restart Windows, you may now feel the difference, your computer running more smoothly. Also, apply these Windows 10 optimization tweaks that help to speed up your Laptop/Desktop PC.
