How to Configure Paint.Net for SSD
Paint.NET is a graphics creation and editing program that is available as freeware for download from the Internet. It has a small file size yet retains some of the more advanced capabilities of larger and more expensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw. The program is already optimized for installation either on a traditional hard drive or on an SSD drive. No other changes are necessary before saving to your SSD.
