Enable TRIM on OS X High Sierra

I am posting this mostly so I don't forget

sudo trimforce enable

Windows 10 bash | Linux

Enable developer mode

Goto settings and Update & security
Click on "For developers" and select Developer mode
Search the Start menu for Turn Windows features one or off and click it
Find where it says "Windows subsystem for Linux Beta" and click OK
Restart the computer
Now search for "bash" and follow the prompts

You now have a Linux bash terminal

Windows 10 cipher command

Encrypt folders and secure erase files and folders

Command Prompt

Cipher /e C:\EncryptTest

/e = encrypt 

/d = decrypt 

Any files added to the encrypted folder will be encrypted as well

The encryption key is tied to your user account

Create a backup of the encryption key

Delete with cipher use the /w

Cipher /w: C:\EncryptTest

You could use cipher to secure erase all deleted data from the C: drive as well

Switch Windows 10 from RAID/IDE to AHCI operation

It’s not uncommon to find a system on which RAID drivers have been installed and something like the Intel Rapid Storage Technology package is handling storage devices, but where an SSD might require AHCI operation for more optimal performance or configurability. In these cases, there is in fact a way to switch operation from either IDE or RAID to AHCI within Windows 10 without having to reinstall.  Here’s how.

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

• Right-click the Windows Start Menu. Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type this command and press ENTER: bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal
• Restart the computer and enter BIOS Setup (the key to press varies between systems).
• Change the SATA Operation mode to AHCI from either IDE or RAID (again, the language varies).
• Save changes and exit Setup and Windows will automatically boot to Safe Mode.
• Right-click the Windows Start Menu once more. Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type this command and press ENTER: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
• Reboot once more and Windows will automatically start with AHCI drivers enabled.

That’s all there is to it!  Special thanks to Toobad here for outlining this procedure.
