Not sure if this is the right section.
Does anyone have any tricks for reducing boot times by modifying BIOS/UEFI?
My current one is to delete all PCI Option ROMs that are not used(LAN, RAID, VBIOS) as well as images(OEM logos and such).
I noticed that one of my laptops had a UEFI BIOS(can be opened with MMTool Aptio) but it does not support Fast nor Secure Boot. I also found a UEFI BIOS for a friend’s computer(also can be opened with MMTool) that does support Fast Boot.
Anyone know of a way that this feature can be backported? Or any other tricks in general.
Depends what motherboard you have and what disk configuration.
@ Mangix:
As jeroompje already has written, the boot-up speed depends on the hardware configuration and the BIOS options of the related system.
If you want the fastest possible boot, you have to disable CSM in the BIOS (pre-condition: this BIOS option is available and all required EFI modules are present within te BIOS).
