Locate a value called “Quick POST” or “Quick Power On Self Test” or similar. Activate it if deactivated. This will cut down on the time that the POST screen is shown before the BIOS run the OS.

Then locate the area with boot options. One can select the order in which devices are tapped by the BIOS while looking for an OS. The options may have the CD-ROM drive, a SCSI device, removable media like a floppy drive, and other HDD. Make the first hard drive, often considered as “HDD 0,” the first boot device. That will cut down time of the PC searches for Windows installation.
