How to Check SSD in Laptop?

SSD stands for Solid State Drive. Most modern laptops come with an SSD (Solid State Drive) instead of the old hard drives these days.

In this article I will explain how to check the SSD of your laptop.

Check SSD Using Windows Settings

This is the easiest way for Windows users:

1. Click on Start Menu and open Settings.
   
2. Go to System > Storage.
   
3. Here you can see your storage drives and their sizes.
   
4. To know the drive type click on Advanced Storage Settings > Disks & Volumes.
   

If it says SSD then it is good. If it says HDD then it is an older hard disk.
