Eventually, if you don't defrag, random fragmenting should logically end up as UNfragmented. Eventually. :clap:

And, it's not that you haven't defragged since Win 98. Every time you move to a new version of Windows, in theory, you are starting with an unfragmented hard drive. I suspect that every few years, just about when fragmenting is reaching a point sufficient to slow things down, you move on to a new OS, and/or computer. Win 10 may last long enough that you'll need to bite the bullet and defrag.

If I remember, I'll check back in 10 or 15 years - if PCQandA is around that long - to see how things are going for you. :--)

Jim.

lol True enough but since faster hard drives and processors and ssds I haven't bothered. Which if you have a ssd it's not recommended.
