Hello there, all.
I run my PC as a dual boot system, Windows 7 Home Premium as my daily driver and Windows 10 Home for everything else that now requires it. This week I finally decided to wipe and reinstall my Windows 7 install, get it nice and zippy. Which it is...once it's running.
But boot times are slow now. Hangs on the Bios splash screen for quite awhile before loading the Boot Menu. Which is now back to the old school one rather than the Windows 10 one. Not that I mind. But after making my selection it takes forever now to load it. Monitors will even turn off during the long process.
Is this something simple to fix? One thing of note, after the reinstall of Windows 7 it straight up lost the boot menu entirely. I've managed to get it back, but perhaps that's an issue in itself.
For more info, Windows 7 is on one SSD and Windows 10 is on another SSD. Both run nice and quick, my boot times are now just shot due to me fiddling around. Would appreciate any tips on fixing this minor annoyance.
