Default Trimming Samsung SSD on WinXP?

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?Â* What exactly
is computer used for in your household?Â* 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.Â* Windows 10 is for
serious users who are concerned about security and serious useful work.

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

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.

Plug the SSD into Windows 10 and use the TRIM there ?

But beware, as Windows 10 can affect the Volume Bitmap and
the $MFTMIRR. A CHKDSK later could fix that.

It has everything to do with the fact that people here don't have XP to
give you pictures of what you should be doing.

I suggest type "diskmgmt.msc" in the run box and see if it can launch a
wonderful tool that can do lots of things like resizing and shrinking a
disk.

What is this word called "Trim"Â* I have never used that word before.

As I said, Windows 10 is a good operating system and support is also
very good for Windows 10 as there are more than 1.2 billion users in
this world.Â* XP has a shrinking market and users don't come here for
support.

This question has been asked in an XP newsgroup and it is quite
appropriate. You are neither helpful or clever enough to be helpful so
give it a rest.

I also suggest that if you are ignorant enough to not know what "trim"
is, that you refrain from giving advice in re SSD technology. I suggest,
also, that if you have an SSD put in your machine that you entrust the
job to someone more acquainted with the technology, i.e., a 12 year old
at the local electronics mart.

Why on earth do you hop into threads when you don't understand the topic?

Because there are idiots, nutters and monkeys like you who needs to be
provoked at any opportunity possible.

So we agree: you don't know anything about SSD technology but you think
it's others who are nutters and monkeys. Most losers like to pick on
others to raise their self esteem. The danger in that maneuver is you
might appear as a moron to others.

I remember using a netbook that had Windows XP SP3 preloaded in its tiny
SSD last decade! It was nice and fast.

Security from W10? They don't even take privacy seriously with their
telemetries.
