Windows Boot

[Philno]

Hi, so I've been experiencing some super super long boot times, so I went looking around through bios etc and was only able to boot from windows boot manager on a ssd that doesn't have windows on it. However, computer still booted and still does but very slowly. After it loaded I went through disk management and for some odd reason Windows Re Tools Partition and a Recovery Partition are on my ssd that doesn't have windows on. I presuming this is the case for the really slow boot / load times. There's image attached of my disk management. If anyone has any experience with this and can help me out this would cool. I also have a samsung 860 evo 500gb ssd turning up hopefully soon, so would it be better to wait it out and just reinstall windows when it turns up?. Pc specs below

What is your boot drive?  On the SSD's or 1 TB hard drive?

Yeah, I would just wait until the 500GB ssd comes, and reinstall windows.

 

When you do reinstall windows I would recommend unplugging all other driver during the install so windows doesn't try to install crap to the other drives. I have seen it do that before it is rare but it does happen. Also this will protect you from accidentally deleting date if you pick the wrong drive. (Speaking from experience)

I would wait until you get the 500 GB SSD and make sure you're running it in AHCI mode.

Make sure to plug the SATA cable to SATA 0 or SATA 1 port on the motherboard.  Just to keep things must more easier than trying to find out in the BIOS.
