Change Drive Media Type in Windows to/from HDD/SSD

The drive defragment tool needs to know if your drive is a hard disk drive or solid state drive to function properly.

Follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key on the keyboard to open the menu.
2. Enter "Windows PowerShell ISE" with the keyboard.
3. Then right click on "Windows PowerShell ISE" and select "Run as Administrator" option.
4. In the PowerShell, type "WinSAT diskformal" without quotes and hit Enter.

Now run the Defragment and Optimize Drives program to see if the media type is correct, either "Solid state drive" or "Hard disk drive".
