What is the quickest way to boot
My computer starts slowly, taking about three minutes to become responsive. I opened msconfig to check the boot settings and saw the first page labeled "Boot options." I don’t recall their purpose or which one works best, so I’m asking for advice. I’ll attach a picture (it’s in Dutch, but you’ll understand it). I’m using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Consider using the IO Bits startup manager; it can enhance performance and includes a free version (http://www.iobit.com/en/advancedsystemcarefree.php).
Use an SSD (or a PCIe SSD) or open Task Manager, go to Start-up, and turn off any unnecessary items.
I wouldn't choose an SSD just to speed up startup, but with spinning disks you have limited options.
It's not only about starting up. I also enjoy playing many games, and in titles such as Battlefield 4, having an SSD would be very beneficial.
