How do you TRIM a Samsung SSD 860 EVO on WinXP/SP3?

Samsung's Magician software v5 won't install (may be an AMD
incompatibility) and V4 doesn't provide a TRIM option. V4 can't detect
system info (such as AHCI or SATA) and its options are all greyed out
except for a performance benchmark.

Is there another way to TRIM the SSD?

XP predates SSD so why are people using SSD on an archaic operating
system?Â* XP was good on the spinner hard disks and there was no need to
use anything other technology.

When are you going to buy a new machine with Windows 10?*

My main machine runs Windows 10 but what does that have to do with SSDs?

What exactly is computer used for in your household* If it is for basic
stuff like facebooking, twitter, emails and shopping then any junk OS
such as Linux would work on that clunker you currently sit on.*

SSDs go well with XP as they give an extra performance lift. I don't use
Twitter or Facebook.

Windows 10 is for serious users who are concerned about security and
serious useful work.
