Hi.

Long boot times are usually caused by start-up programs running in the background as the computer first starts up.
You can disable certain programs starting up with the computer so the operating system loads that little faster.

Click on the Start Menu (Orb) and in the search box type msconfig and hit enter. A system configuration window will pop up. Click on the Startup tab and look down the list of programs for ones that you don't want starting up with the computer. Be careful not un-check any antivirus or the Microsoft Operating system. Click Apply and then OK.
You will be asked to restart the computer so the changes can take effect. Do that and see if the computer is booting into Windows any faster.

I would also recommend that you de-fragment your hard drive by clicking on the Start Menu and in the search box type defrag, look in the list for Defragment your hard drive and click on that. Follow the instructions to defrag the drive.


If you would like to know anything else please post back.


Regards.
