Ok, I just migrated my OS from an HDD to SSD (kingston fury 120gb)

I didn't go for a clean install (too many things to reinstall xD): I cloned system partitions to the new disk, so I'm asking tips, as the system is still "optimized" for the old drive :)
The drive was still prepared for this step, as I
On the "old" drives I'll keep the rest - media, games, VMs, backups, temporary files. Probably browser cache also.

Windows 10 should detect the drive as an SSD and will use TRIM to optimise instead of Defrag. If not, then you have an issue.

Are you using GPT or MBR, because if you have MBR, you can switch to GPT with 3rd party software without wiping the drive.

I almost never defrag disks, but I'll check.
SSD is flagged as "optimize not available for this disk"
All disks are MBR in CSM mode (bios). I don't like so much the GPT/UEFI combo.
I had problems with it and went back to legacy MBR only.
How to check if I have trim on?

Code:
C:\Users\Hadden.000>fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0
ReFS DisableDeleteNotify non è attualmente impostato
Should be on, it is?
What about retrim?
AS-SSD benchmark says partition is well aligned.
I'm already on AHCI and kingston manager says everything is ok.
