Believe it or not, Windows8 can be booted in 7 seconds.

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft said it will re-create the Windows 8 boot experience and replace the old one with the new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). The BIOS interface; if combined with a solid state drive, Windows 8 can be booted in about 7 seconds.

The original EFI specification was proposed by Intel, but was later developed by the Unified EFI Forum as a UEFI standard that does not limit the processor architecture. It has a more graphical and more organized menu of features, with more Read storage space to handle storage test or backup hard drive, Pre-OS with management function, with solid state drive (SSD) to boot in seconds.

Microsoft Project Manager Billie Sue Chafins explained that Windows 8 will replace the BIOS system with UEFI, allowing device manufacturers to use their own trademarks at boot time, and their image menus will clearly provide users with different DVD players. The booted operating system and the image menu are also used in Windows Recovery Environment (Windows Recovery Environment).

If you are entering Windows Recovery Mode on your tablet, you can also call up the virtual keyboard to enter the command. In addition, the past Blue Screen of Death screen will have a more cute pattern and clear text description.

Chafins said that the time to market for Windows 8 just happened to coincide with the popularity of tablet devices and the opportunity for the industry to move to UEFI. Therefore, Microsoft considers the boot experience of tablet devices on the one hand, and coincides with the trend of UEFI. However, Windows 8 will continue to support the old BIOS interface.
