    If you set the BIOS to boot from a CD but don't leave one in, will it just default and boot normally? Thank you!

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Yes it'll 1st check the Optical drive. Then go through the boot list order till it finds a bootable OS. So on older systems you might add 5 - 10 seconds boot time leaving the boot order that way.

    Thank you! So on this SSD and UEFI system it probably would not make much difference. I might set things up like that since I have a boot disc W7's backup recommends making, Paragon and AX64 all ready to go should disaster ever strike!
