Hi
I have windows 8.1 on another machine just to stay current and be able to help friends and family. Not a fan, I put win 7 pro 64 bit on. Bios shows windows boot manager for the SSD drive as Boot #1 and GPT in diskpart.
is that what you mean?

I can live with it now that I know nothing is wrong. I was worried about a hardware issue.

I appreciate your comments. I am always learning something. This X99 set up brought me into a whole new world of SSD drives etc - really enjoying all of it!

If you had and really what it to boot faster. You can do it in two ways. When you install windows 7 do with the UEFI DVD.

When you install windows 8.1 it always loads with windows boot manager. Now myself I don't like the windows boot manager. It takes control over your bios. Sometimes you could have a hard time getting into the bios with it.

That is what I don't like about the UEFI bios. Yes UEFI is really nice for boot times but that is it. I'm old school and I like to have control over the way it boots not windows. That is why I said I don't really care how long it takes.

Yes that is it. If you do some reading here you will find more than half the people that are having problems are from using windows 8.1. I think windows 7 was the last true OS that doesn't take control of things. You have that option with that last OS that you can choose which way you install it with UEFI

Yes you can basically do it with windows 8.1 too. But I think Microsoft and motherboard companies are working together on how windows controls everything you do when installing software. I would say that about 90% of the people that do use windows 8 don't know that Microsoft knows everything that you are doing.

Everything you do in your Documents & pictures are uploaded to clouds. Microsoft said they did that for a reason. It was to help stop child porn. Well they just got their hand slap for it too. It was all about peoples Privacy. They had step over the line on that one.

I have been testing windows 10 and it too is like 8 boots really fast. There are a lot things you now can do in windows 10 that you can't in 8. I don't know if you do this with win 8 but put the desktop on the toolbar. Uncheck the text & Title. Make the Icon large.

Thanks. Well I have that in the BIOS and the delay is what it is. I have yet to install 10. I had downloaded it to look but never got around to it. My 2 primary machines are Win 7 and I will not be adding 8.1 ever ;=)
I have to say this system is a joy to use. So fast.

Take care and thanks again for the information.
