Windows 7 clean install - BIOS questions & system startup time
Hi everyone,
I am going to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on my Dell Precision 7910.
I had a big thread on here before, with some very helpful people that talked me through a fair bit of trouble I had. Changing settings in Bios, Raid controllers and all from what I can recall. I will have to read back through it to do the same again this is the thread on the page that the PC subject started on (earlier pages were to do with my laptop)
Windows Startup Repair query
I wanted to ask about the BIOS:
1. If I do a clean install (on a brand new SSD) do I need to go back and follow all the steps that the guys helped me along with? Or will the BIOS remain the same as it is now?
2. For the PC to boot up, it takes longer than my laptop (that is about 30 secs or less)
The PC is currently taking about 1:30 mins to boot up. So, is there any other info you could give me to make this quicker? It isn't a massive issue, but I am more curios as to why it takes longer than the laptop.
Sorry for the long winded question. Looking forward to hearing back, thanks :)
Paul
