Aspire XC-885 what settings do I use to optimise an SSD.

I have just fitted a Kingston 480 Gb. SSD and want to ensure that everything is set up correctly. I cloned my Hard Drive externally in a USB caddy using EaseUS Todo free version and then fitted it into the PC using the M2 SATA connector under the HDD case. It boots fine from the SSD but the various articles that I have read suggested that I should set "Trim" to on and use optimise for SSD. These options did not appear in the cloning software. Can anyone tell me what I should do to get the best performance/life from the SSD. I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to a general article that would give me this information. I did not need to remove the Intel Optain memory card as some have suggested.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
If you are booting with Kingston 480GB SSD, you don't need a Intel Optane memory, you don't need to do any optimisation for SSD, please install Crystal DiskMark benchmark program and post the results.
