    Leave UEFI boot order for USB first


    Is there any negative if I decide to leave my boot order so USB disk is first? Except for the obvious, that if a bootable device is installed it will boot, but for normal everyday use, I'd like to leave it set this way. Makes it a lot easier when I want to boot up my Acronis or Macrium disks.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    :)

    Windows 10 - Install does not properly restart

    I'm running a clean install on a blank formatted drive. So after the first restart (during the installation) should it boot to the bootable usb or to the hard drive? I have the boot order set for hard drive first, usb second. The mobo is a 2008 model,
    but UEFI boot is enabled. (I was running ubuntu 15.04 64-bit on this hardware before formatting the drive).

    The only negative is it can slow down the boot start up time. Only way to tell how much really is to try it.

    Macrium has a great feature whereby you can create a boot entry and boot to it without even needing a usb/dvd drive unless hard drive has failed, or too badly corrupted. With this, I rarely need to use the actual usb drive, and can get to bios easily enough on rare occasion I need to, so I do not leave setting on by default.

    And, move the boot.wim file to a second hard drive and point the boot menu entry to it and you can boot to it even if the primary drive has failed Leave UEFI boot order for USB first :).

    Leave UEFI boot order for USB first

    "if I decide to leave my boot order so USB disk is first?"

    This is how I have mine set up. Might delay boot by a fraction of second *sarc but saves time when I actually need it.
