ℹ️ Additional information
If you do have an Solid State Drive in your computer, it is important to make sure that it is not "defragged" - SSD's don't need to be defragged like Hard Disc Drives. Continual defragmentation of an SSD will shorten it's life span. Please note that Windows 10 automatically does not defrag SSD drives.
