Windows 8 super fast boot, a real problem

A real problem. What if you`d like to go into safe mode for example?
Have you imagined how you could do it? Pressing the power button would get you straight to your OS, there's no time for tapping buttons. There won't be time to interrupt a boot screen, from the other side....Who wouldn't like great boot speeds?

Take some time to watch the video below:

In this video you can see a laptop with a SSD booting super fast. Booting this fast doesn't require special hardware, but it is a feature of a new 'BIOS' called UEFI. You'll still see much improved boot times in existing hardware, but in many PCs, the BIOS itself is so slow...

From what you've seen, there's no time to press any key, seriously, but...

Microsoft has developed another feature for this problem. For every UEFI-enabled motherboard, you are able to change this operation by the settings of your OS as shown in the picture below:

A menu for every single boot option...

The good news is that Microsoft offers many ways to easily get to the boot menu options for when it is needed. For the most part, the average consumer will never need these features and the fast boot of Windows 8 will be a welcomed upgrade from Windows 7. But for those of us who need to get under the hood occasionally, Microsoft has you covered.
