Consider using RAM as the boot medium for speed. Try a minimal Linux setup and switch to Windows if that works.

The information comes from the system's memory management process.

To be clear, the system would need to be reinitialized each time the computer was powered on, as RAM operates in this way. Using an adapter to insert RAM into a PCI slot would restrict performance to PCI speeds, making it impossible to achieve what you're suggesting. Still, that would be impressive!

Occasionally, perhaps. For now, NVMe SSD works well for me and is enough for most users, though it might be too much for the average person.

RAM storage requires power to keep information intact. I once built a basic 4-bit RAM using flip-flops for a class project, but it loses all data when the power goes out.

I think the puppy Linux starts running in RAM. It’s been a while since I checked, but I’m not entirely confident...
