latest bios, OS, samsung driver with magician

when motherboard is powered on it will run for about 20 sec before the 1st image shown up for bios entry then another 15~20 sec to reach home page ( tried it on both igpu and gpu)

any suggestion to decrease boot time ?

You need to reinstall Windows in UEFI mode. Boot time will be alot faster.

Get the latest drivers from here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25165/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver?product=55005
File: f6flpy-x64.zip. Unzip it to a folder on a USB drive(it can be teh one with windows on it).

Disconnect all the drives except the one you're installing to, then go into the BIOS and under "boot" disable CSM and enable "secure boot".

Start the install and when it asks where to install hit "have disk" and point it to the folder you put the above files in.

then hit shift +f10 then:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x(x beeing the drive you are installing to)...

The only boot time that really counts for a drive type is after the BIOS screen goes away.
Currently, you're at 15 sec. Which is pretty normal.

This 'boot time' also depends on what stuff you have in your Startup. The more stuff, the slower the boot time after the BIOS goes away.

diskpart
list disk
select disk x(x beeing the drive you are installing to)
clean
convert gpt
exit
exit

then hit refresh and select "create" to make a partition for windows as big as you require it. windows will create several partitions and auto-select the proper one to install to.

WARNING: this will erase all partitions and data on the drive

After windwos is installed, get samsung's NVMe driver from here http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html for best performance.

Hello I did the same thing and reinstalled it with UEFI but my bios time is still around 40 seconds, I followed your instruction 100%
