disappointed with Datastore

It's ok but I'm really disappointed, I expected better performance. I have an ASUS k53e i3 laptop. The boot time of Win 7 Home on the old hard drive was: 45 seconds. Installed Win 10 Home and logged in in 1:30 minutes. Lots of tweaks (deleting apps and all the "crap" I didn't want) and the IObit software brought it back to: 45 seconds. Then I don't know what the heck happened and win 10 home hung for the last time and I had to force reboot and got into the blue screen of death and I couldn't get back to OS or safe mode. Yes, I've used a DVD and tried a flash drive (which Rufus didn't want to write to), changed the BIOS settings for those, but nothing. Dead. the dead. I say dead! After much research on a working PC I used MS Flash Drive Writer and got into my system. I figured it must be a hard drive failure so I bought it. It arrived on time and while I waited I transferred everything to another computer and made my useless backup. Then it was interesting to reinstall everything because Win 10 Pro (I hate Win 10 Home, very buggy and unstable. Crashed 7 times in 3 days) doesn't use my backup. Have never used a backup successfully. Tried many times but no joy. But I will keep doing it! And now my loading time is between 1:30 and 1:56 minutes. What the hell. Everything is as it was and no settings can bring it back in less than 1 minute. And I had auto login enabled in Win 7, I did it in Win 10 Home and again in Pro. Just to make sure everything is fair. Check this to see if anything is set up incorrectly. Can't find any helpful or helpful information. How can I find out if the SSD is being used by the operating system? I have the latest BIOS. So this is a 1T hard drive at a good price, but not what I expected.

Pros
  • Datastore
Cons
