You are obviously missing the point, which is in regard specifically to the Defrag utility. In Windows 7, it will actually run defrag, not TRIM, an SSD. In Windows 8, it recognizes SSDs, and runs a TRIM job, not defrag.

Yes, Windows 7 can and will TRIM your SSD without using this utility. The point is that in Windows 8, when you want to schedule the Defrag and Optimize utility, it will run the correct job according to the drive type.

So was that like 5 years ago when it first released? I’ve been using SSDs since the first generation drives released and Windows 7 has never needed anything special set, all you do is run the windows experience index after switching to or installing a solid state if you didn’t install it from the start on the SSD and it will turn on trim.

Sorry so late to reply, this is the top google result when searching “Trim Windows 8”. You are both right. Windows 7 does “support” TRiM. However, by default, there was a time (And it may very well still be the case, search google your own damn selves) that it did not automatically run TRiM on a schedule from the get-go. you had to activate it and set it.
