The only solution to this is to get an SSD because that is the only thing that will achieve faster boot times. If you currently have a hard drive right now then try purchasing a 120GB SSD to install your OS on and have your favourite games on it and then on your hard drive you can keep everything else.

Or you have another choice of a SSHD drive.
That will be cheaper to buy for the amount of GB`s of storage you get.

Hybrid drives with 8 or 16Gb of flash memory greatly increase the loading times in speed of your OS.
And some of the programs you frequently use Doudou99.

Around the same time as it takes a SSD drive to load windows 12 to 13 seconds.

Hi there doudou99,

How long does it take?

See if there's something wrong with your HDD: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
If this is the case, then you need to back up your data.
If the HDD is in a good shape, then it is OS related. (some start up processes) You can check that article out: http://www.howtogeek.com/162446/how-to-manage-startup-applications-in-windows-8/

I would agree with KR2. You will experience significantly shorted boot times with an SSD.

Cheers,

First, disable Fast Boot if enabled. While it has the word 'Fast' in it's title, it's anything but in a lot of cases.

Secondly, try updating your graphical drivers.

Third, you can do a clean install of the OS.

If after the clean install it's still slow, it's hardware based. If that's the case, that's up to you to improve the parts you have.

Another bit that might be a good idea, is to back up your system regularly with a snapshot tool (i.e. RollBack Rx or Comodo Time Machine) especially if the system is much faster at the installation of Windows then it is later on.
