Is it OK to disable Superfetch?

Yes! There is no risk of side effects if you decide to turn it off. Our recommendation is that if your system is running well, leave it on. If you have issues with high HDD usage, high RAM usage, or degraded performance during RAM-heavy activities, then try turning it off and see if it helps.

Should you disable Superfetch Windows 10?

To disable prefetch, just change that registry value to 0. To disable superfetch, you have to click on start and type in services.msc. By default, Windows 7/8/10 is supposed to disable prefetch and superfetch automatically if it detects a SSD drive, but this wasn’t the case on my Windows 10 PC.
