Actually I don't remember how long it took, only that Windows 95 took FOREEEVER by comparison, and once I managed to Load WfW 3.11 on a Pentium II and couldn't believe how fast it booted - and I remember with 386's paring down the WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files to make it boot faster. ....looking for videos now... Ah....here's a video of 40 seconds from the end of POST to Win3.1 Program Manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSJDIGiepgU Or 12 seconds on newer hardware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A_E9Wp4Zj8 Yes, I am not including the POST time. 11 seconds from power button to desktop is smokin' fast, I'll have to check my home machine with SSD. It's not that fast, but I can reboot it and desktop-to-desktop time is not much longer than it takes me standard SATAII / Vista machine / 3GHz Athlon to simply power off.

That sounds like you're still on Windows 7. Wait until you see the boot times on Windows 8 with an SSD. My HP Eiltebook boots in 11 seconds. I think I have the same drive.

I have an HP Elite 8100 mini tower, it was getting a bit slow, so let's put in a SSD drive. I got the Intel 520 Series 240 Gb SATA3 for CD$279 at Canada Computers. Now I was dreading the new install of the OS and all applications . . . but wait, Intel has a migration tool http://www.intel.com/go/ssdinstallation That sounds interesting so less than an hour later I had a cloned OS drive on the new SSD drive, re-booted had to re-arrange some drive letters, shut down and swapped the SATA cables to boot from the SSD drive, That was it, absolutely no re-install of anything, very, very slick. I now boot up (from cold) including opening IE at start-up in 1 min 10 sec, previously ~ 3 min. Everything is much snappier. A good $280 spent and hardly any work . . . . -- Stefan Jafs ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
