I went into the BIOS and disabled CSM and enabled Windows UEFI Mode under the Secure Boot section. I checked and my boot partition is set to GPT. then reboot to BIOS and disable CMS and have it enable UEFI booting. It should convert your mbr boot partition to GPT. Should be able to right click the start button>command prompt (administrator)Īnd then type: mbr2gpt.exe /convert /fullos

I think you can convert easily if you have one of the last few Windows 10 updates (might be Fall creators update). That's the problem I had, and after converting to GPT, I was able to disable Compatibility Mode CMS in the BIOS and enable UEFI booting first. If it says 'GUID Partition Table (GPT)' then you are ok, but if it says 'Master Boot Record (MBR)' then that might be the issue. Then LEFT click on the part where it describes your boot drive: DISK #, BASIC, OnlineĬlick the Volumes tab, and look at the partition style. Same basic system, except I have a Samsung 960 Evo M.2 as the boot drive.ĭo you know if your boot partition is MBR or GPT? If you need any more information please ask. I can see that in AIDA 64 the SSD is recognised as NVME.ĭoes anyone have any idea why my boot times are much slower when in theory they should be faster on the new system with PCIE mode? I have another system that is using the same type of Intel 600P SSD but on a Gigabyte Z270 with a 7600k, fast boot disabled, PCIE mode, and it reaches the login screen in under 5 seconds after post. The times are being measured from the point at which POST ends to the point where you reach the login screen. On my new system the M.2 boot drive has been running in PCIE x4 mode (NVME) since the first startup and i usually see boot times of over 30 seconds (after POST).

On my old system I used to see boot times (after POST) of less than 10 seconds, even though the M.2 boot drive was running in SATA mode. Both systems have fast boot disabled in the BIOS and in windows. I have re-used the Intel 600P M.2 boot drive from my old system however I have formatted it and done a clean reinstall of Windows 10 pro after building the new system. I have recently upgraded from my old 4790k system on a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 motherboard to a 8700k system on an ASUS Z370 Maximus X Hero motherboard.

Before anyone starts asking, if you need my full system specs they are in the drop down menu under my name.
