With the right Windows 7 settings, you can make even more of your SSD. Our tips will help you extend the life of the SSD and make the system even faster.
Tip 1: SSDs in Windows 7 - BIOS setting
For the SSD to be recognized correctly, it is important to activate the AHCI mode before re-installing the BIOS. If you have already installed Windows 7, you must first change the entry in the registry before changing the BIOS mode.
Tip 2: SSDs in Windows 7 - Windows Search
To do this, click Start and type "regedit" in the search box on the Start menu. In the registry you must now look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Msahci. Once you have found the entry, click "Start" in the "Name" column and click on "Change". Now change the value "3" to "0" and confirm with OK. After restarting, the AHCI driver is automatically installed. Now you can enable the AHCI mode in the BIOS.

How to - Copy Windows from HD to SSD
Tip 4: SSDs in Windows 7 - System Restore
Caution: If you change the BIOS mode without installing the AHCI driver, Windows 7 stops running.
To avoid unnecessary write cycles, turn off the Windows Search service as an index service. Open the Start menu again and enter the "Services" search box. Right-click on Windows Search to open the settings. Go to the "Properties" tab and select Disabled from the Startup Type entry.
SSD on Windows 7: The most important tips
You should also deselect the SSD. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator, otherwise you can not include subfolders.
Enter "Defragment" in the start search field and select Configure schedule. Set up the schedule so that your mechanical hard disks are regularly defragmented, but never the SSD. Background: An SSD only survives a certain number of write cycles. Redistribution of data during defragmentation causes write cycles that shorten the lifetime of the SSD. However, you should defragment your mechanical hard disks at least once a month to improve access times.
Windows 7 can no longer create recovery points for the system partition after it is deactivated. For other hard disks in the computer system, however, it is still possible to restore previous file versions. Use the window combination Windowstaste + Pause and switch to the Computer Protection tab of the System Restore settings. Now select your SSD and click Configure. There, confirm the Disable Computer Protection feature by checking.
Use the key combination Windowstaste + R and enter "regedit" in the "Execute" dialog. Confirm with OK. In the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SessionManager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters. Double-click EnablePrefetcher and EnableSupberfetch and change their DWORD values to 0.

The prefetch service observes the user behavior at the start of the PC and loads frequently used programs into the working memory before they are started. Superfetch is an extension of the Prefetch. This service not only monitors the startup behavior of the PC but also the user's work behavior without interruption.
