the sole purpose of this thread is to make us broke people with hdd's to cry :P

[kiytos]

about 15 seconds, for my desktop

and like 3 seconds for my ultra book, thanks to windows 8

[clementk]

so i tought this might be interesting to see how fast the forums pc's boot

 

Must be from a complete shutdown and must include Bios Booting as well as windows and not to lock screen full boot .

 

i got with gigabyte fast boot i have now had a time of 12 secs from shutdown on windows 8.1

My little Lenovo laptop boots Windows 8.1 on an SSD from pressing the button in around 5 seconds.... It's hard going back to the school computers which take seven minutes from my tests....

My desktops do around 15s on W8.1 and 40s on W7.

 

EDIT: Shutdown? Never measured it because it's the least important time to measure, who sits at the PC waiting for it to shut down?

wish desktops ad laptop boot ups but thats what you get with being able to swap out all the parts

Well, because I run win8.1 and it's password protected, the results are a little skewed because of the way windows runs background loading stuff on the lock screen. But, it's around 15-20 seconds. Laptop is a minute or so because mechanical

if really want to test yo can tell windows to auto log in and then it skips the password

7 minutes???

My main rig booted up in 5 seconds when I first got my ssd, it's down to about 15.

My laptop boots in about 20, and my LAN rig boots in about 30.

[clementk]

My desktop is about 12 seconds to the desktop with typing in the password and the BIOS splash screen

my screen is a but slow to turn on dont even see the bios splash screen and then windows resolution kicks in and ten i only see the logging in

What is this "folding"

[clementk]

sudo systemd-analyze blame

aww linux wanted to say 

[clementk]

What is this "folding"

to who are you are asking that 

 

edit: if you mean "folding@home" its basically letting them use your PC as a Node in big array to do completes computing ( As far as i know have never really looked to deep into it )

[Bit8xPr0]

to who are you are asking that 

lol wrong thread. So Silly of me.

From my memory, my 7-year old HP prebuilt system boots up in like 40s - 1min under Windows 7.

This will eventually be kicked to the curb to be replaced by a custom build (see my profile for build specs ).

[Swndlr]

the blade boots up in around 10 seconds and is lightning fast when opening tasks right off boot. im having some concerns with the shutdown time though when i hit shut down in the win8 menu, the screen turns off but the keyboard backlight and razer logo on the back take extra time to shut down, like 30 seconds or so, ill look into it when i got time

[scaryjam823]

Roughly 20 seconds, only that slow because I have acronis set to autorun  recovery before windows loads. Without that installed it boots around 10. As soon as the desktop is shown I can instantly be doing something. Can go from power off to playing a game, browsing the web in less than a minute if need be.

[jamese669]

about 1-2 minutes to get to windows but once it past the logo i dont have any awkward moment where im in windows but have to wait before its quick enough to use.

[Shroomster]

Like 20 seconds to password screen and another 10 to type the 25 character password.

[TooManyErrors]

Roughly about 6 - 8 seconds, with the BIOS splash screen taking up about half of the time. Windows itself gets to the login screen in about 3 - 4 seconds.

[SkilledRebuilds]

To get proper comparisons everyone should do a run of the boot racer app.
