Hi all,
Do we have a more recent SSD sticky? I just installed Windows 10 on a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB.
So far I have:
Turned Off Drive Optimization
Disabled Indexing
Disabled Hibernation
Disabled Restore Points
Installed the Samsung software and firmware is up to date
I have read I should not fill the drive up. No issue there as it is a 500 GB drive and I will likely only use about 200 GB of it for my OS and apps. I have also read that I should disable Superfetch though I need to read more to understand what this is and if it is really needed.
I have used this as a starting point, but question some of the tips and to be honest for each site I visit on this topic I get varying tips.

For one I would think that leaving the page file on the SSD would give the better performance that is expected out of an SSD to begin with. Is it really better to move the pagefile to a spindle drive or to set it to a constant size? If it matters I have 16 GB of memory. I sometimes play games AAA games, but mostly my system sits around 3 GB of used memory.
Any 2017 do's and dont's are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maiyr
