MoBo = Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI, RAM = 2 x 8Gb, 1TB data disk.
For a couple of years now I have been running 64 bit Windows 7 on a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD without ever encountering any problems.
Having grown weary of being pestered by Microsoft and out of curiosity I recently added a 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD to which I copied the Windows 7 system before updating with Windows 10. By means of the [F12] key I can now select which system I want to boot.
On two recent occasions I have noticed that CHKDSK has been invoked when booting after having shut down Windows 10 - is this a known problem?
I always shut down Windows (7 or 10) using the prescribed method, not with the Big Red Switch and no disk errors are ever detected.
Incidentally, as an aside, I believe that Windows 10 will attempt to "defragment" disks while idle. I know that this practice is undesirable with SSDs. How do I tell Windows 10 NOT to defragment - EVER!
