The reason I mentioned Win 7 is because I just changed to 8.1 and was asking if it would have been normal to have that option enabled under Win 7.

Thanks, I believe I have it properly set up now, but I really don't see the super-fast boot times people claim. I also don't know how to get back into the BIOS now. I've seen videos of people with some Windows utility to boot into UEFI, but I have had no luck finding such a utility. If you could provide a link to this utility, it would be great. If you entered the BIOS after going EFI and reset it to defaults, would you brick the drive?
When I look at my SSD (boot drive), it lists the partition style as:
GUID Partition Table (GPT)
From a total cold boot, my system starts, the monitor is black, it stays there for 5-10 seconds, then the system appears to reboot again (case power button goes out, then back on), then remains black for 5-10 seconds more, then the blue windows logo appears and within about 8-10 seconds, the Desktop appears. Overall, this really isn't faster than Windows 7's normal boot time.
Right now I have the Z77 Extreme4, Intel i7-2600k, 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2400 (runs at 2133, of course), and the Samsung 840 SSD for boot. I've heard these insane reports of 1.5 second boot times or is this only under Win 10?
