# # How to create SSDTs

Creating SSDTs mainly fall into 3 camps:

- Prebuilt SSDTs
  - They're universal but don't teach much
  - For most users, we recommend this as it does not require any compling
- Automated tools
  - Mainly seen with SSDTTime, work much better than prebuilts as there's less bloat however doesn't teach you much
- Manually creating them
  - Will always work, be much cleaner and get to learn about the process
  - However requires you to deal with code

If you're not comfortable with editing and compiling code, we recommend the prebuilt option
