It's my first time asking a question here . Hope i get some answers.


I upgraded to windows 10 home from windows 8.1. My Windows 10 takes about 8 minutes too boot up


My Notebook specifications are as follows. It is a HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook


CPU: Intel Core i3 4005U , RAM: 4GB , GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4400 , HDD: 700 GB


Now the I would think it to be a hardware bottleneck. But my friend has a laptop with lower specifications

It is as follows.

CPU: AMD E1-2500 APU , RAM: 4GB , HDD: 128 GB

And yet it boots Windows 10 in less than a minute. It doesn't have an SSD


Before you answer my question i have already performed the following fixes

1. Turn On/Off fast startup

2. Disabling services and startup items

3. Page file changing. Set to 4096mb-8192mb

4. Defragmented the Hard drive.

5. Ran sfc / scannow

6. Ran a full system scan. No malware

7. Set boot configuration such that HDD is the priority

8.Disabled unnecessary device drivers. Card reader and touch screen for me.

9. I have about 300 GB free space. So i ran disk cleanup, cleared temp files, deleted bloatware and unnecessary programs

10. Set cpu cores to 4 in msconfig

11. Ran in safe mode.

In safe mode windows boots up in about in a minute


Still my boot time is between 7 and 8 minutes


Please Help me solve this. Although I am sure that my best bet is to buy more RAM and get an SSD but i am open to any other suggestions
