why is reducing your boot time so important that it can't wait one day?

because i feel if it takes too long to boot, hdad will go "hmm its taking a while to boot, ill go check on them" and i really dont want him seeing my godawful computer

Change the wallpaper to a dick pic. Problem solved.

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

i think after i make sure the drive works i might just boot from a linux live usb and do
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

or something

that'll run slow as poo poo because the default block size for dd is only 512 bytes. don't know what i'm talking about? don't use dd

Seriously though, moving your Windows install over to a modern SSD will make the biggest difference of anything for boot times. Leave the steam library on the HDD, just move games that have long rear end loads over.

That's fine because you're not making me sit in a meeting while you do it. Meetings are evil. My boss asked a question right at me out of the blue and I had to stop simultaneously picking my nose and scratching my butthole to get my mic close to my face and unmute. Rude as hell!
