I received the Windows 10 update and installed it without any problems to a Lenovo computer running Windows 7. So far, everything works fine except that when I go to defragment the drive, the media type of C: drive is now labeled an SSD.

It cannot be analyzed or optimized, both being grayed out.

Is there a way to change this drive designation to the hard drive that it actually is?

  • Rare. How does it show in your device manager ? As a HDD or SSD ?
