Why do you think you don't need it?
Please run a command fsutil fsinfo sectorinfo c:
from PowerShell (administrator) and copy the result here.

Hope I can help with that. Hit Windows key + R to open a new Run box, then enter: regedit
This should take you into Registry Editor.
In the address bar on the top, enter the following: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
Set "EnablePrefetcher" to 0.
Restart your computer if you believe it's necessary. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
