Trim has been available since Windows 7 but back then was pretty much invisible to the end-user. It’s an important feature that helps SSD manage space that contains data that has been deleted by the operating system.
Trim is more visibleĪ Trim command is initialized to allow the operating system to inform an SSD which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped out for writing the data. Now it’s Windows 10’s turn to bring in more improvements designated only for SSDs. Windows 8 inherited these features and were moving forward with more enhanced features.
Windows 7 is the first Windows version that recognizes SSD drives, therefore, optimizes itself to work better with them.
Put all fancy new features aside, Microsoft also did a good job that makes SSD’s life a lot easier, healthier, and longer.
