My sim racing PC takes a full 3+ minutes to boot to the Windows 10 desktop. (ie - to the point where Steam finishes verifying its installation). I've checked for viruses and malware and come up totally clean.
I would imagine that a good SSD would improve things immensely. But, in the meantime, what could I do to speed things up? Windows 10 says that the drive is 100% defragged. (It says that it defrags on a schedule automatically - but I'm skeptical).
Would it be safe for me to run a manual defrag (not automatic), or would this have any negative effect on Steam sims (which most of mine are)?
Also, I'll start looking at SSD's. What specs should I look for in order to get a speedy one. I ask because the SSD I installed into the PC which I'm using to type this didn't really speed things up very much....
Thanks!
