Fresh install was completed and the computer takes 9 seconds to boot, once Windows starts loading. The desktop pops up really fast as well after logging in.

It takes about 2 times longer to go through the Bios part than it does to boot Windows :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vq55846lfcl8o4/2014-06-14%2016.50.18.mp4 Thanks for the advice. I am still installing programs as they are needed. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Naushad Zulfiqar Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 11:25 AM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] SSD Clone or Reinstall question I would do a fresh install.
