• Windows 7 SSD optimization option

  Hello

  I am currently looking for an option to optimize my SSD on Windows 7. I've already activated TRIM, but I can't see the option to optimize my SSD as in Windows 8.1 / 10 Windows using the built-in disk Optimizer program because it only shows the option to defrag on Windows 7 which is a waste to an SSD. Is there a way to manually optimize my SSD in Windows 7? Just as in Windows 8.1/10 with the disk assistant program?

  I use this guide

  Optimize Windows for SSDS

  If you are looking for a program similar to the Disk Defragmenter Optimization in windows 10

  the only program that give you some

  as normal for HDD defrag & optimize for SSD for windows 7 is Defraggler

  If you have a problems of degradation of SSD

  (basically, you feel that your SSD is slow)

  I follow this simple guide to correctly formatted for one SSD

  Best way format and start a new? M4 SSD

  If you have a Crucial SSD, you can download

  interest to date your SSD firmware

  BTW is also comptabiles for windows 10

  If you do not have a Crucial SSD

  Check with your manufacturer SSD

  I'm sure they have their specific SSD Executive tool download

• Tecra R940 with Windows 7 SSD boot failure

  My company bought laptop computers Tecra R940 and replace the HDD with Kingston SSDNow v + 200 V + 120 GB SSD drives. On a test after installing the SSD device, the laptop was rebuilt with our brand image (Windows 7 x 64) that has successfully completed.

  Update post however a number of issues is apparent:

  1 occasionally during a restart, the laptop will display and then hang at 'starting windows' screen for the Windows logo animation appear and with the light of the hard drive continuously. After a period of time that a Windows recovery is attempted and, possibly, a reported error:

  Status: 0xc00000e9
  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred

  This problem will not occur at every startup, but once every 2 or 3.

  2. the following error message is logged in the Windows system log

  Source: ATAPI
  Event ID: 11
  Description: The driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort0

  I have tried the following to resolve the problem:

  1. update the R940 BIOS to the latest available (6.40).
  2. has confirmed that the BIOS SATA Controller is set to AHCI.
  3. not confirmed there are no available SSD drive firmware update.
  4. install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver of Toshiba (11.0.0.1032).
  5 tried different SSD. Same errors identified, so not a faulty SSD.
  6 tried the SSD in a Toshiba Portege R930. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
  7 reinstall the original HARD disk. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
  8A confirmed a 2nd unit (with installed SSD) logs the same event ID 11.

  My tests left me at a point where I think that there is something bad at the end of R940 with a hardware or software that does not like the SSD.

  If someone has solved a similar problem or have thoughts on fixing this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Specific installation of corporate images are always full of risks, and quite often, there are different problems. As much as I know in the past Toshiba has created special images of recovery for some companies who ordered a specific number of booklets for employees.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I would like to know if you have tried to install own OS Win7 using the original disk of Microsoft.

  I mean that it must be possible to install Win7 clean on the new laptop models. I tested it on my U940 satellite and it works well. I had some trouble with Toshiba specific stuff (tools and utilities), but it was not so important and work with Win7 was possible in any case.

• Problem Windows 7 SSD

  I have a SSD 120 gb hard drive with windows 7. Everything has been fine for over 2 years. I followed several tips to prevent fill such as disabling hibernation, since I never disable. A month ago I noticed that my drive was fast filling and getting close to maxing out even if I was not downloading anything him or install new programs. I cleaned my trash and done a disk space cleanup, but the problem persists. About two weeks ago, I got 22 GB of free, three days ago I was at 14 GB free and today I am to 11 GB free. I ran a program called WinDirStat , and he gave me a reading where all my all my data has been allocated. The strange thing is that none of these figures have changed enough to account for the data that you will eat upward and yet there are 11GB I can't explain. The figures for the high data pigs look like this Windows 26.4 GB 24.7 today in two weeks. 14 GB users two weeks ago 10 today. Data from the program 8.4 yesterday and today. Program files x 86 and program files showed no change at 7.9 and 6.5 respectively. So according to this, I should have less data used throughout. Any other accounting for less than 2 GB, and certainly nothing seems to explain 11 GB of free space just by disappearing like that.

  I ran Malware Bytes and HiJackThis are as well as several nothing works antivirus scans. I'm puzzled. Advice or do I just need to reformat and start over my hard drive is on it's way back in red? Let me know if you need more info.

  Thank you.

  I would check with an application called Jam software treesize.  He will show you things like the amount of information that windirstat can not.

• Transfer files in Windows HDD/SSD

  Hello everyone I am facing a problem.

  I bought windows 7 and this computer 2 years ago and I decided to update. I recently bought a load of new parts, but I want to use some parts of this computer. (trying to build my new)

  in any case, I want to keep my computer hard drives and put them in my new but I want windows 7 must be installed on a 150 GB SSD so, how would I install windows 7 on my SSD and keep the other drives as storage for my games and applications.

  I don't want to buy 7 once again so is anyway I can transfer my SSD? I still have my drive in windows 7 if that helps.

  How can I do this?

  Recap: My SSD has windows 7 top and NOTHING ELSE. The other hard disks should be used for storage.

  The 1st point is it depends on what is included in these "new parts charge" and the type of license.

  If your current license is an OEM version and the parties includes a new motherboard, then you will need to purchase a new license. The main constraint of the OEM license is that it can be installed on a computer and has no right to transfer. In terms of Microsoft, the computer is defined as the motherboard so new motherboard = no transfer OEM. Read the COA label and try to identify what type of license you have.

  If you have a retail license, which is very good, all you need is the license key and the Windows 7 DVD.

  Design the computer with the new installed SSD. Do not mount the drives former until the installation is complete and fully updated; Demarrer start from the DVD, follow the instructions and install Windows 7. Install the necessary drivers as a result of the new hardware, and let Windows 7 update.

  Once fully up-to-date connect old disks and make sure that they are detected by the BIOS as a secondary drive. You can concatenate all the files on a disc and the format and the other test.

  You can not just move some directories on another drive, for example: \Program files must remain on the startup disk. Instead of creating a new Program Files directory on the secondary disk and when you run the installation program for your look of programs for an "Advanced" or "Custom" option to set the location of the programs to install.

  Profile user such as Documents, music etc folders have a location tab in their properties to allow you to move these stores on a different disk.

• To Windows 8 SSD liked

  I am running Windows 8 on a 60 GB SSD. I found, however, that this is not enough for my needs, and I was even unable to upgrade to Windows 10 because I can't free up enough space to perform the upgrade.

  So, I bought a 250 GB SSD to transfer to. I used gparted on a Ubuntu Live USB to clone the drive by copying the partitions and ensuring that they begin and end at the same point, and ensuring that the system reserved partition is marked as bootable. Then I expanded the main partition to take full advantage of the 250 GB drive.

  I assume that that would be enough. I cloned disks of Windows before and been able to simply start up without problem. However, this time, I hit a problem. If I boot on the 250 GB drive, Windows then appears to start properly. When I check the drives that Windows detects, if I find that the disk of 60 GB is still listed as the C:\ drive and my 250 GB drive is another drive H:\. So, no doubt, despite specifying them in the BIOS to boot from the 250, Windows has loaded the 60.

  I tried to force Windows to boot from the 250 by removing the 60 the system entirely, but when I did, I met a BSOD saying C:\Windows\System32 winload.exe is not found.

  So, I guess my installation of windows has linked its lettering drive (at least for the C:\ drive) for the unique identifiers of the disc. Is it possible that I can change this ID? While Windows is guaranteed to be loaded from the new drive? Or is there another approach for this type of upgrade that will work better?

  When you clone a system disk, immediately after that cloning turns off the system and disconnect the source drive.

  Then boot from the cloned drive. The original disk can then be put back.

  If there are two or more active disks, bootable Windows chooses which he prefers. The user cannot predetermine which disk Windows will choose if the last boot time is the same thing, because it will be when the source and just cloned disks are present.

• Windows 8: SSD HARD drive?

  I've seen a few similar questions to mine, but not exactly the same thing...

  I just bought a laptop with win 8 is installed on a HARD drive.  I want to upgrade to an SSD with a clean install of win8.  I would be OK by doing a factory of backup on a USB key and installation on the SSD drive?  It is really as simple as that?

  Also some additional questions,

  The product key would follow on the SSD?

  Does this mean I have the same key on HDD and SSD?  How does it work?

  Thanks in advance,

  JSmith

  First, create a recovery drive, this will allow you to do a clean install of Windows 8 on the new SSD:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-USB-recovery-drive

  Shutdown computer, remove the hard drive and install SSD

  Boot from the recovery drive and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall Windows 8 on the SSD

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  Hello

  Have you tried to install Win 8.1 on the SSD drive using the MBR instead of GPT partition system?

  To be honest, I m confused due to the error message; No hard drive found. Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.

  As far as I know you don t need to add additional drivers try to install Win 8.1.
  The system already contains the basic SATA drivers.

  So I guess there must be a problem between the Win 8.1 and the SSD drive or SSD partitions.

  As mentioned, try to remove the partitions and create a MBR partition then try to install the Win 8.1
  Also try MSC mode.

• Windows installation 8.1 on the 32 GB SSD in the Inspiron 14z

  Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 5423, which is an i5, 4 GB ram, 500 gb HDD and SSD of 32 GB.

  I read some messages in the forum where experts have suggested that Windows should not be installed on the SSD and should only be used for caching purposes. However when I asked on twitter handle Care of Dell said they generally follow the installation of the operating system on the drive MSata. It felt confusing.

  Please recommend if it's alright to install windows 8.1 on the SSD... or should I install the OS on the hard disk of 500 GB and SSD has only use caching for goal.

  The person who told you about Dell had no idea what they were doing, if they recommended to do this. If you intend actually to your computer, i.e. wanting to install all programs outside of Windows the ssd will get full and performance will therefore come to a standstill. Updates and even temporary files will take a sizable chunk of the ssd. I tried even with a 64 GB ssd and it was too small. 128 GB is a realistic minimum and is quite an affordable/useful upgrade.

• 490 G3: Add a bootable with Win10 SSD

  I will buy a G3 490. It is a Windows 7 preinstalled at the factory on a SATA HDD; It also provides a set of media Windows 10 license and installation. I would like to install a bootable with Windows 10 SSD, to speed up the operating system, and 1 would use the original disk of 1 TB of data storage. I will be able to install Windows 10 on new SSD directly from all of the media? Or I have to migrate the operating system pre-installed on the old drive to the new SSD, and then I will be able to Win 10?

  so... The HP 490 G3 came with Win 7 on a hard disk of 1 TB and a Win 10 installation DVD.  I installed a new 240 GB SSD and win 10 on it; the 1 TB of DD has been formatted for data storage. All right.

• Can satellite U50t-A10F - I use partition 7 GB on SSD for Ubuntu

  U50t-A10F has a SSD (32 GB) and a (750 GB) HARD drive.

  The partition on the SSD drive information show 7 GB allocated and him remains unaffected.
  Is this "unallocated" section used for something else, or I can use it to install part of the Ubuntu root file system.

  I read that on Windows, the SSD is used as a form of cache extended using a falseraid implemented.

  So, is it more a "unallocated" partition a part of and GPartEd simply do not correctly identify?
  He even appears in the windows "Drive Manager".

  Hello

  I can't say I don't know this model but I have seen and tested similar configurations on the U940 and U840.
  The two had a HARD drive and an additional 32 GB of SSD used for Windows OS-specific reasons and no palpable by the user somehow normal.
  Only a part of the DSS has been used and the rest was empty but totally in "empty."
  It was due to the specificity of the soft raid configuration.

  So as long as the raid - the installation program has been left as what, the SSD was not usable for anything other than swap/put into hibernation.

  If you don't mind tthings "break", it's pretty easy to remove the raid configuration that will allow the use of the SSD...
  However, be very catious! Although it is easy to remove the RAID seup, is not at all easy to restore it!
  Reconstruction of the raid on the U840 and U940 need attention ASP which will cost money.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space
