Is my my PC boot up time slow?

[Speed Weed]

I have 4 SATA devices. 1x SSD, 2x HDDs, and 1x optical drive. 

 

Total time from pushing the power button to the Windows logon screen: 00.23.42

 

POST time: 00.06.68 - 00.07.55

 

Windows logo appear to the logon screen: 00.08.18 - 00.23.42

 

Do I begin timer for the boot up time after the POST or before the POST?

as long as its fast enough for you it's fine.

Do I begin timer for the boot up time test after the POST or before the POST?

after POST as the POST time would differ between motherboards and BIOS revisions

you can use glary utilities to see the boot time, install it and then reboot and in one of the main tabs you'll see your boot time.  I say if the time it boots in is adequate to you, then don't bother doing much more than changing the startup options in the task manager.

Ehhh. I don't trust software to calculate boot up time because I find some of them or all of them to be inaccurate. 

 

@themctipers Oh okay.

true enough, but again boot time doesn't matter all that much, I suggest a fresh install of Windows every year or so and to keep startup items to a min, keep fast boot on in the UEFI/BIOS and eventually upgrade to an NVMe SSD if you want sub 10 sec boots, otherwise who really cares, then again I rarely turn off my . computer, just occasionally reboot to switch which operating system im running.

But they are pain in the butt to install and uninstall. In addition, they can easily get dust on it.

The M.2 SSD.

you would only need to put in an m.2 once and everything in the computer gets dusty, idk what i suggested in usually what i do for my PC, I reintstall windows occasionally as the registry gets fragmented as you install and uninstall apps and everything seems to run nicer with a fresh install, hitting the inside of your pc with compressed air every 3 months is also a good practice, though not always necessary.
