I have a refurbed PC with a fresh copy of Win 10 installed. It has 8 mb of RAN and a 500Gb hard-drive The PC is directly connected to my BB router via an ethernet cable.
The problem is that Windows is very slow to start. During startup a message appears on the black screen, it says " Client MAC Address D4 BE D9 etc etc . . . . then DHCP with a timer beside it.
Then after about a minute it flashes up "No boot file" and then begins to load windows.
I have discovered that the MAC address is actual the address of my PC. I'm not sure what a boot file is or does. Is this the cause of my slow start-up and if so can I create or download a boot file
Any help would be much appreciated, its a while since I have done any of this
