How to enable or disable the boot record in Windows 10

When a system boots up, or "boots up" as we call it, it's not exactly such a simple process. The system looks for the keyboard, then RAM, then starts each controller in sequence. Check the network, USB ports, etc. Not all features may be perfect, but if the basics are correct, the system will boot. Information about which processes have succeeded and which have failed is stored in a file called the boot record.
