Roy

Sorry, Roy, it's been awhile since I posted and I'm not sure what i shouldn't be able to see on an SSD.

I'm going to go back to see my post, but no guarantees I'll know what you're referring to.

@Wynona, I found out that changing default boot partition makes booting much faster - like when you boot the same system.
If you restart in different system than default, Windows first boot to boot menu, then restarts again and boot to other system. Process could be visible, or hidden.

I'm doing it via "Advanced system settings" from Control panel. Got it pinned to my taskbar, so only two clicks

I'm a little dense this evening, Andre. It's been a long and exhausting day and my brain is no longer cooperating. Thus, I'm not following what you're trying to tell me. Sorry.

It happns Wyn. This stuff is sometimes mind bending. You'll be back in the saddle soon enough.

Me, too, Wyn!! You are not alone!

Sorry guys, if I was not clear... long day yesterday for me too...

Dual booting... you said,if you want to boot to non default system it takes longer.. It's so because it will first boot to boot menu, change boot partition (user can or don't see that).

Instead of that, I'm changing default system. No extra time for restart in other system.

With most systems you can also chose what to boot from from BIOS options. Most also have fast choice menu, that's how I boot to Mint for instance. If I BOOT fro windows BOOT menu than computer restarts and BOOTs fro a drive Mint is on. Same thing happens from Windows BOOT menu, it restarts whole machine down to basic BIOS first and than it loads from appropriate disk.

To anyone who uses more than a single boot:



This tool is called iReboot from EasyBCD NeoSmart Technologies, I use it on all my machines that has 2+ boots.
