Re: Hardware requirements

Acer Aspire V3 571G, (i7 quad core + HT, 8GB RAM, 750GB spinning rust) took 2 minutes and 37 seconds to boot after a forced Win$hit 10 upgrade. Installed an SSD, Windows 8.1 PLUS Classic Shell and with all the same software took 16 seconds from a cold boot. Yes the SSD made a difference but at least it wasn't weighed down with all the Win$hit 10 crap and isn't 10 supposed to "boot" from a Sleep Mode loading everything from RAM to make it appear that it boots faster?

We are so lucky that the 1809 update made it out on schedule and no problems. Geez, just about need to get myself a new keyboard after that bullshit.
