Question about migrating to SSD HD (1 Viewer)

[peque]

Hi all,

Quick question regarding my new SSD HD. I've just cloned my old mechanical HD to this SSD HD, containing just one partition with the SO, Win7 Enterprise 32bits...

Question: I've read that Win7 is the first SO to support SSD HDs directly, disabling indexing and other things, but... if installed in a mechanical HD and cloned afterwards to SSD as I've done, does it detect the new situation and adapt itself, or should I do something else?

BTW, I'm absolutely astonished... It's definitely THE step forward for an HTPC (well... for any PC) in terms of system responsiveness. I'm waiting now that 120 Gb ones get a little bit cheaper to change my netbook's HD...

Thanks all.

Hi there,

Try this:

Open a "Command Prompt" as Administrator
Type: winsat disk

Winsat is the windows assessment utility (used to give you the Windows Experience Index). By running this, I believe it dtects you have an SSD and will disable the relevant processes/services (never tried it for optimizing with an SSD, as I've never cloned HDD to SSD)

Ok. done... I'm not sure there's nothing changed... but anyway, good point!

Thanks a lot.
