Windows 7 SSD 30 second boot

[Jack Gardner]

Hey,

I have recently installed Windows 7 onto my Windows 8 laptop and it all went well etc all drivers and SSD settings enabled however the boot time is rather long, around 30-45 seconds each time I turn the laptop on?!?

The only programs I have enabled on startup are IDT Audio and my antivirus software so that shouldn't surely make it take that long to boot?

My laptop specs (If it helps)
CPU - i5-6200
RAM - 6GB
SSD - Samsung Evo Pro

Cheers!

Go to your start menu, and type in "msconfig". Then go to the "Start Up" tab and close pretty much anything that isn't your drivers. Restart and then come back with results.

Also, it depends on what laptop it is, some older laptops have pretty slow SSDs. Yes, SSDs can be slow

Hello,

Already done that, everything on startup tab disabled except my audio and antivirus.

My laptop is a HP Probook 450 and I imagined the Samsung Evo Pro were meant to be fairly quick?

By the way, Samsung Evo Pro isn't a real SSD. There is the Samsung EVO and the Samsung Pro, that's it.

Yeah that's strange, the 850 Pro is a good SSD.

Alright is AHCI on in the BIOS? and can you run a benchmark (crystaldisk mark, ATTO, or the like) and post the results?
