Good enough to start the computer in about 10 seconds , after POST completed, or would be except my inept keying in of my password increases the time considerably
Am using Ubuntu operating system now on this desktop , this Ubuntu operating system meets my web browsing requirements .Is easy to install, useful for me bundled apps, quick to start , super quick to shut down , not bothered by parasites written for Windows , and the price is right : freeware
They are quicker than HDD's and 10 seconds is about their quickest benchmark so there shouldn't be
anything that can slow it down.
I don't worry about start up speeds as we can only have ADSL here and at 4.7/0.7 Mbps it is "very" slow
anyway so it "feels" better for me if everything matches.
As for Windows , One of my laptops has a Windows 10 license attached to it , a pre-release free upgrade special ":customer evaluation or something, from years ago) which can not be transferred to another computer.(I did try) -
I bought this system years ago with Windows 8 installed but upgraded free to 10 within a month of getting it
as 8 just wasn't up to scratch in my opinion and it was the same,one pc only.
I need Windows to run specialised apps and Office etc ,so my onboard-display-less laptop will be dusted off and 2 new ssd's purchased , as seems from consulting BIOS setup that this model supports RAID arrays - so i am curious as to whether it will or not . I have a multi-bay enclosure for the second ssd ( Use it for cloning laptop disk drives onto ssd's)
Quicker and longer battery life producing less heat are a bonus with the SSD's.
Already has 8GB total installed system memory so will also try a ram drive configured for a page file
Such is life for one of the inept during the Govt mandated public self-isolation
When you can do that yourself you certainly can't be inept and at least 90% of the population wouldn't even know
what you are talking about let alone being able to do anything similar.
