How fast is your boot time?

Something like a minute... too many things need to initialize (3 HDD, 2 SSD, 1external HDD, sound card, ethernet card, tv-tuner). When nothing is plugged in other than the OS SSD and the GPU, it boots within 15 seconds, Win7, no Fast boot.

 

Just my ethernet card alone increase my boot time by about 5 seconds, and then once booted into windows, I still don't have internet for a good 20 seconds, while it fully initialize itself... (Intel Gigabit network card, because my onboard ethernet is GARBAGE and doesn't even reach my full network speed)

Laptop boots in 8s on its medium speed boot setting (no startup logo but still bios access without restarting system once in windows)... desktop takes 15-20s on slowest setting but has to load a heap of drivers and crap, laptop is barebones.

How on earth do you all get such quick boot times? (@GoodBytes)

My computer (in sig) takes just under 30 seconds (without fastboot or whatever it's called), from the click of the power button, to landing on my desktop (no password).

18 seconds including entering my password.. xD

I'm going to put a link to my PC specs which actually aren't my PC specs and I cry myself to sleep everyday so I can have these PC specs but I can't afford these PC specs so PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs.

It's roughly 30-40 seconds for me. Would probably be faster if I had fewer harddrives, less ram, and without a sound card.

@TomvanWijnen. Fully UEFI supported system :)

Microsoft Surface Pro 2. :D

Anyone that has a computer that is fully UEFI compatible, and probably configured, will get this speed +/- 1 sec difference, with a decently fast SSD (nothing crazy fast needed)

How do I know if it's fully compatible or not? And how do I make it compatible?

How do I know if it's fully compatible or not?

-> Well to start you need a motherboard that has full UEFI support. Most late Sandy Bridge motherboards should be, and of course newer motherboards.

-> You need Windows 8 or newer

-> You need a graphics cards that is UEFI compatible, or has it's firmware updated to be UEFI compatible if the card is older then a few years (most manufactures don't give you a firmware tp update, as either they used a firmware chip that isn't large enough to be UEFI compatible, or can't be updated)

-> All other hardware must be UEFI compatible. (You'll know when you'll try the next step and it fails)

-> Compatibility System Module (CSM) Disabled in the UEFI (that is the BIOS emulation feature for legacy hardware)

-> your SSD/HDD partitions table needs to be formated in GPT, and not MBR (full format and re-install Windows is needed to the conversion under UEFI based system with CSM disabled. You don't, technically have to format, but you need a boot partition in UEFI, so creating it is a pain by hand, might as well do it by the WIndows Setup, but you need to start fresh with the entire drive)

-> Fast Boot (or could be called 'Ultra Fast Boot' by some motherboard manufacture) must be enabled

-> Windows side "Fast Startup" needs to be enabled

Now have a decently fast SSD on SATA-3, with the SATA controller set to AHCI, and with Windows Fast Startup (that means from shutdown state, not restart, where Windows hibernate parts of the OS), it should boot from power click sound to desktop fully loaded (exclude time for password entering, if you have one), in 6sec +/- 1sec.

I have a pretty new system, so all I need to do is make my 2 drives (both are NTFS) GPT?

Your non-boot drive can remain as MBR, I believe.

Well then nevermind lol. I don't think my GTX 680 is UEFI capable, and I use Windows 7 (not planning to change any time soon).

SSD/HDD

OS

UEFI or Legacy mode

On my WD caviar green it takes 31 secs form button push to desktop appearing but another 10-20 secs for it to be usable.
