windows 7 - Is there anything i need to do with the SSD to optimize?


Here at work we have a old image (2010) of Windows 7 that we install on all our clients. This is far fetch, but the new computers that are comming in have SSD and we are experiencing some instability with certain (old, very old) software.


I'm not sure if updates are updated in to the image, but the computer is set to update forever after install... so there might be a chance it's not updated right out of install but it gets updated later.


When SSD first came out there where this list of things you should do to optimize the use of the SSD, and I might think we are not doing this.



Answer



Windows 7 when installed on an SSD turns off indexing and so on. Instead of painstakingly trying to figure out all the changes to be made, I recommend using something like SSD Tweaker:
