Hi
My new motherboard supports UEFI (which I never used before). It also has some fancy new features like fast boot.
Do you think switching to UEFI would get me even faster boot times/performance?
Motherboard is MSI AM1i
Yes I'm aware. But let's say if I reinstall Windows and switch to UEFI mode. Would it be any faster?
No. You will never see a fast bootup on a hard drive.
You want faster performance ?
Install windows an a solid state drive.
SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 120GB | Samsung Solid State Drives
The only way is to try.
Create a disk image of windows before you attempt anything.
Fast Boot is not new to UEFI systems.
It simply skips the posting on screen of the BIOS/UEFI routine. It will speed up your BIOS boot time by a second or two.
It will not affect your Windows start up time at all. Nor will UEFI.
