    Windows 10 boot from USB3.0


    I've managed to install Windows 10 on a USB 3.0 drive.However, based on its perf, it doesn't look like it's mounted as a USB3.0 -- maybe it's standard 2.0?My best guess is that the bootloader doesn't use usb 3.0 driver and therefore the whole operating system remains attached through usb 2.0, rendering it usable, but unbearably slow.The question would be:1 How to verify this2 Is there any way we can include usb3.0 drivers in the bootloader, so we can start off the right foot3 If not, is there any way to remount C-drive with USB3 after booting?

    :)
