+Warwagon MVC Posted February 8, 2013 MVC Share Posted February 8, 2013 First your SSD has to actually support TRIM for Windows 7 be able to use it, look up the specs of your SSD if you aren't sure if your SSD supports it. How to check if TRIM is turned on in Windows 7 1) First open the command prompt with admin privlages 2) Type fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify It will either give you back a 1 or a 0. This is a little backwards to what you are use to. 1 is turned off and 0 is turned on. If windows says "DisableDeleteNotify = 0" That means TRIM is enabled. If it says 1 then it's not enabled How to enable TRIM on Windows 7 if your drive supports it and if the above command indicated it's currently off 1) Open the command prompt with admin prilvates 2) fsutil behavior set DisableNotify 0 TRIM should now be enabled on your SSD. Not sure if you have to reboot or not, but it never hurts. GreatMarkO, goretsky, Chicane-UK and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
