I have a desktop and netbook, both of which do not have Intel VMD. I can test it on both machines.
What would I be looking for, aside from boot time? (I don’t really “time” how fast my PC boots as it doesn’t really bother me if I have to wait an extra 1-2 seconds.)
UPDATE: My netbook is from 2012 with a slow Atom CPU and slow storage. So if anything will negatively affect it, I should be able to notice it more easily.
