The bootstrap.dat serves as a blockchain 'template' and is checked again, i.e. your own blockchain is rebuilt.
A snapshot does not necessarily check the blocks, nor is your own blockchain rebuilt, but the blockchain provided is taken over 1 to 1.
With a snapshot, you can then start "directly", while the bootstrap.dat variant takes a little more time.
Simply move the bootstrap.dat to the default directory where the wallet.dat and peers.dat are located.
The snapshot will be unpacked in the same folder and overwritten if necessary (SAVE wallet.dat before!).
