    I've just spent an exciting 75 minutes letting Windows repair itself on
    my Asus Expert Book. I tried system restore and the various other
    options that Win 10 offers but in the end told it to reinstall from its recovery partition.

    I would like to test the NVMe before putting my apps back on, everything
    that turns up in my searches seems to be a bench marking app but I want
    to know if the NVMe is OK or on its last legs.

    Any suggestions? chkdsk says it's OK but I think I've only ever seen it
    say there were problems once so don't know if I can trust it.

    I've been using this for years. Very detailed.
