After my HDD failed I installed an SSD that I had laying around. Since then my boot times have hovered around 10 minutes, though access to files and applications is fast once the system has booted up.
How it looks:
Gigabyte screen for a few minutes
Black screen with blue Windows logo for a few minutes
Black screen with cursor flashing in upper left-hand corner for several minutes
Basic specs:
Windows 10, updated to latest version
Crucial CT525MX300SSD1
i7-6700k
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
Gigabyte Z170M-D3H-CF
Apologies if this is not clear as I am not very knowledgeable about computers. Please ask if you need any additional information. Thanks!
