Hello Guys! Can I ask a "beginner question"?
Is defrag supposed to last 3 days? I had to cancel my last one because it never ended, it went on and on, night and day. . .is there a way to "speed it up"? Will it last longer the more I delay to do another one? And finally, if I run defrag, let's say for 48 hours and stop it (to get some things done), will it pick up where it left off if I start it again the next day?
I'm sorry, I just don't know technical stuff like that, but want to learn.
Thank you! :confused:
