[SOLVED] Did Gigabyte mislead me, or am I not reading this correctly??

In real life applications, i haven't spot a difference.

good! That's what I like to hear... well, I don't just like hearing it, I would also like it to be true

(Win is sometimes slow to figure itself out)

I'm not surprised. Even on this Intel / Windows-specific build that I have and which - for God knows what reason - doesn't work with Linux, in the few and rare instances that I've managed to make Mint boot on, Windows still took more time to boot than Mint and I've used Windows 8.1 at that time, I assume that Windows 10 boots even slower.

Now granted, I never bothered with fast boot and whatnot which I assume would have sped up Windows booting considerably, but that's not an excuse for a Windows-specific build to run slow

Win 8.1 is a flop. And poor OS to use. It is similar to Win Vista, on how "good" it is.

Win 10, in the other hand, is far better. Win 10 is like Win 7, but with some upgrades. Overall, a good OS and loads up quite fast (as long as there isn't mandatory Win update in the way).

oh, so I guess I'll stick to 10 then...

Here's a good article ranking all Windows versions, from worst to best,
link: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-versions-windows-of-all-time/

And i agree with the ranking. ME, Vista and 8 (including 8.1) are the worst ones. While XP and Win 7 are the best ever made. Win 10 is also good but the newest Win 11 is worse.

With this, and by the time Win 10 supports ends, i hope M$ comes out with Win 12, which is another good OS. Else-ways, need to accept the drawbacks of Win 11 or switch to GNU/Linux.

yeah, Windows 11 gets a lot of bad reviews

In what concerns me, though my mind is made up and I will forever switch to Linux with the new AMD-based build that I'll get soon. But I will still run Windows in a VM because my work requires it.... oh, and the games, too
