[Solved] defragmentation

[bj43cj47]

Hello again all, Since changing over from my tower system to the Toshiba laptop, I can't see where I can manually defrag. I've tried all approaches, but can only clear history. Going to the hard drive, properties, tools, I see ....."OK (0% fragmented)" Is it possible that the defrag is being done automatically weekly? Also I've tried to find my previous postings on this help site, but again no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi again

 

Your previous posts

If you click on your forum name in a post > View forum Posts

I have located them for you.....

If the laptop is relatively new there is no need to Defrag.

( I have had this laptop for well over a year and have never done a manual Defrag )

Win 8 has an option to Auto Optimise and this can be scheduled weekly / monthly

 

If you let us know the Operating System of your laptop we should be able to point you in the right direction.

Hi Windows Vista 7 and 8 all defrag automatically when the pc is idle , but here is how to get there your self.

 

Caution: Do not run Defrag if you are using a SSD drive.

Windows XP, 2000, Vista, and 7 users

Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 Defrag

To run Defrag, we recommend you follow the below steps.

• Double-click My Computer or open Explorer.
  
• Highlight the local hard disk C: drive by clicking on it once.
  
• Right-click the highlighted local drive Click Properties
  
• Click the Tools tab and click the Defragment now button.
