I just do like this:
and, already tested with the old machine (running windows 7)
it makes the old system better for the startup time (faster than before)

Win7 we talk about Boot Time defrag, Auslogics doesn't have this feature...

Boot time defrag built into a defrag program does mean its necessarily better. Heck just look at TuneUp Utilities. 90% of what TuneUp does your OS does.

Very fair comment, it's like another fancy looking Norton lol..

Noticed that boot time decreased.

It is not necessarily about boot time defrag (defragmentation during the boot process, in the way 3rd party defragmenters do it to defrag files that are in use while Windows is running such as MFT, page-file, registry, etc.) but defragmentation of files used during boot. Windows tries to lower the time a machine takes to boot up by defragmenting the files that are used during this process and placing them in faster areas of your HDD. It is a good feature and as far as I can see Auslogics doesn't interfere with it. It lets Windows do its job.

If the registry option is on you can perform this optimization by running defrag c: -b at the command prompt. If the registry setting is turned off you will receive an error message.

When i run defrag c: -b in cmd I get an error that says"Some registry entries were missing from the boot optimization section ot the registry" <0x89000017>

Any help?

Did you check in the Registry Editor that, Enable is set to Y located here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction

See Post #1 for the Guide.

It should work, after modifying the registry (use with caution).

Ok, i don't know what happened but i tried it again right now and it started working by itself with no errors.
Thanks
