Windows 10 & Samsung Optimization

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Having a really flaky Windows 10 system after install. Not sure if it's SSD drive related or not.

Under Defrag and Drive Optimzation my Samsung use to show up. After a few reboots that said there wasn't a drive to boot the drive finally booted up. I then installed Samsung Magician (normally don't),, said the drive was fine. I recently looked into Optimizing the drive and it is not showing up in the list.

SSD Optimization is a very limited function - basically free space consolidation. That is adequately done by garbage collection, etc. The only think you can optimize with Magician in Win 10 is the OS. SSDs don't need optimizing in the traditional sense.

A hard drive yes it will slow down as you install more stuff ..... SSD with trim of course doesnt and c ant be defragged, gl

Did you upgrade from widow 7? if so you'll need to re-install every driver, motherboard included. Windows doesn't do this properly or some reason.

My boot/OS drive started acting up. With windows disk optimization it disappeared from the list of available disks to optimize. This was after 3 reboots halting at the bios saying there wasn't a disk to boot from.

The Win7 install was the bare minimum. Didn't do anything except install Win7 (no updates or anything) then I ran the windows media creation tool to download and install WinX Pro 64. I had a backup drive fail and it somehow effected the rest of the system, I am concluding at this point.

Yes I found this out as well when I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10.

Also my 100% stable Win 7 installation got turned into a Win 10 installation which crashed within the first 2 days.

I went back to my old Win 7 image and may try again next time I upgrade my PC.

OP, now you have upgraded I would secure erase and install a clean installation of Windows 10 and see if you still have problems.

I think it might have had to do with my RAID-1 config. My source drive died and took the system with it. I've since did a second install, Win7>upgrade to Win X. This install seems to be going smooth
