Windows 11 Task Manager will soon display the type of internal SSD that the computer has installed. And some other components in small but always welcome improvements.

I’m mildly or not at all excited about Windows 11, but I have to admit that Microsoft has done an excellent job with some of its components. In this case we are talking about one of the The most important, useful and long-lasting Windows internal tools. Known by its English name Task managerit is intended for users (advanced or professional) to solve problems that arise when using the operating system and to thoroughly check the operation of their devices. In this guide you can see all his abilities, which are many.

Now type SSD

With Windows 10, Microsoft has improved the information about storage units present in computers. And he improved it in Windows 11, as in all parts of it. Currently, the administrator reports whether they are hard drives or SSDs, labeled as HDD or SSD.

In the latest Windows 11 beta (build 22635.4225) Task manager shows if it is an SSD drive NVMe, SATA or other class. A small but neat improvement that may not be relevant to most users, but will be of interest to others looking for information about the type of SSD they have installed in their PC.

The new feature will be included in the next stable versions of the operating system (perhaps the final version of Windows 11 24H2), but if you want to try it, you can now enable it using the well-known tool ViVeTool in the following manner:

• Download and extract the ViVeTool files to a folder of your choice, but easy to remember and access. For example C:\Vive.
• Run command prompt as administrator.
• Navigate to the folder containing the ViVeTool files (cd command). For example C:\Vive.
• Type vivetool /enable /id:51978387 and press enter.

Restart your computer, start the task manager and there you will see the type of SSD as well as information about the connected external drives and to which port, e.g. USB. What I said: minor but convenient improvements.
