Not sure if this is the right section.

Does anyone have any tricks for reducing boot times by modifying BIOS/UEFI?

My current one is to delete all PCI Option ROMs that are not used(LAN, RAID, VBIOS) as well as images(OEM logos and such).

I noticed that one of my laptops had a UEFI BIOS(can be opened with MMTool Aptio) but it does not support Fast nor Secure Boot. I also found a UEFI BIOS for a friend's computer(also can be opened with MMTool) that does support Fast Boot.

Anyone know of a way that this feature can be backported? Or any other tricks in general.

Depends what motherboard you have and what disk configuration.

@ Mangix:

As jeroompje already has written, the boot-up speed depends on the hardware configuration and the BIOS options of the related system.
If you want the fastest possible boot, you have to disable CSM in the BIOS (pre-condition: this BIOS option is available and all required EFI modules are present within te BIOS).

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro
