Windows 7 takes years too boot

Julian5

I recently noticed that my pc takes over 5 minutes to boot on my toshiba 204gb ssd compared to the 20s it used to take, I honestly cannot remember what I did to my pc before I did this but is there any obvious reason why this may occur?

Did you tried repairing the windows or "CHANGING" it to windows 10 ?

I think upgrading to windows 10 is better choice, because your system is not that bad.

Did you clone the old HDD or do a clean install? I've had issues with cloned SSDs in the past.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

run msconfig and disable startup applications you don't need another suggestion would be to defrag your HDD.

if you are running an ssd, dont defrag it, all you do is shorten the lifespan of it and get no performance gains.

 

ever have any bluescreens, random shutdowns, anything odd ?

how old is this windows install?

what was the last thing you remember doing before it started doing this.

everything works fine, the install is 10 months old. The disk is kind of full, I install a lot of programs for work so im unsure which one it was.
