Or you can open it in such a way:

Or Ctrl + left mouse button to select multiple disks, and then click Optimize. Now just patiently wait for the defragmentation to complete.

The above introduces two methods to defrag hard drive in Windows 10. Just try it to optimize your disk.

Attention: Disk defragmentation is not suitable for solid state drive. Please check the media type of your disk before defragmentation.

Suggestions for Disk Optimization

To avoid too many disk fragments, I recommend you allocate a volume for all temp files and pagefile.sys only and move them to the volume. See how to change temp file location and how to move pagefile.sys to another partition.

If your computer has only one partition, I recommend you repartition the hard drive. See best partition size for 1tb hard drive in windows, and how to create new partition from C drive in Windows 10.
