Can someone provide step by step how to access the "quick boot" feature in Win 7?

I have heard this increases boot up time.

Once activated how simple is it to deactivate if necessary?

    Fast Startup is a feature available from Windows 8. Quick Boot is a feature present in BIOS. Since Quick Boot is hardware dependent, it reduces time by skipping some POST (Power-On Self Test) tests. The settings can be modified in the BIOS settings page. Refer your PC manual for this.

    In Windows 7, Fast Startup feature can't be implemented. But, Quick Boot can be enabled in the PC hardware, but boot time will not have much impact as Windows boot time remains the same, whether Quick Boot is enabled or not, as it's purely hardware based.

    The question was to provide "step by step access to Quick Boot feature in Win 7"

    It was not asking for suggestions on how to make Win 7 faster.

    I have read the posted article previously.

    As mentioned earlier, Quick Boot is a feature of BIOS and not of Windows 7 (or any version of Windows). Only from Windows 8, Fast Boot feature has been introduced.

    Since BIOS settings and menu changes with manufacturers, you can refer your PC manual. Other wise, kindly post the model of the PC you're trying to enable Quick Boot.
