Question Any reason my lower spec laptop boots faster than my PC?

[Kusky]

I used a 970 Evo SSD in my laptop which I have moved to my PC. My laptop has a i5 7300hq and my PC has a i7 9700k. Yet my laptop booted to the log in screen in around 10 seconds, my PC takes 20 seconds with the same SSD and faster CPU.

Did you do a clean OS install for the desktop? If not, that is most likely why. Your PC is trying to look for hardware that doesn't exist.

The desktop was a new build so it was a fresh install.
