I'm using pro on mine as well. I'll see if I can find a watch or
something, and see how long it takes to load, then let you know.
It's not that long, but I don't know for sure, I'm guessing about 30
seconds, but I'll check and let you know, perhaps others using
bootcamp can do the same.

Subject: Re: boot camp and startup disk under windows
Mine takes a bit less than a minute to boot, but if I don't do
anything with it after I tell it to boot into windows, it will
stay in windows.
This latest problem with telling windows to reboot into macos not
working is irritating.
In your control panel, there's a startup option. In there, you
can set it to boot into macos (at least sometimes you can)
Remember the option key is the middle one in the three keys on
either side of the spacebar.
After the chime, I held down the option key, and waited about 10
seconds or so, then had to hit the left arrow, then enter, and
macos came up then.
Haven't yet tried booting back into windows to see if it works
properly now or not. Will try that in the morning.
