Where Customization Begins 

  • Win 8 bootloader is a joke

  • The boiler room is where any disputes go down! Got something to bitch about? Do it here.

Not necessarily. If you turn off "Fast startup" option in Power Options, boot time is increases exponentially. And if you dual booting with windows 7 that's the whole new level of experience. o_0 :boo1:
Boot in to windows 8 boot manager, select windows 7, restart, boot in in windows 7. :wtf:

You can enable classic boot, it's a little bit faster to boot in to windows 7.
Boot to windows 8 and open cmd as administrator.
Type following command.
Code: Select allbcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

Restart.

I played around with W8 for a bit when deciding what to clean-install my HDD with with a virtual machine - I never had any problems with booting time.

Specs?

You can make windows 7 boot up in 30 secs if you know how to make it lite edition and take out the right components inside of Windows 7 to make it faster....
