Whats your Windows 7 boot time?

Mines 1 minute and 17 seconds fully loaded with an internet connection.


Just wondering if people have a slower or quicker load time with W7.

Must say, I have never really timed mine, but it is heaps faster than XP was on the same machine.

I think my old Vista was quicker to load, but Win7 seems ready to roll once it's loaded, vista, like XP seemed to need a while to finish the housekeeping before being ready to go.

Sorry, HOW long did you say it took? ;) :D

But really, overall boot times are going to be hardware dependant.
Win7 certainly appears to boot faster to a ready and usable state, as it's performance scaling continues to load background processes without much of a hit on the system; especially on a fresh install.

Start-up in 50 seconds. Clicked Lightroom and it was open by 1min 07 secs.

my music DAW(digital audio workstation) is still running vista
it takes 51 seconds to load & another 8 seconds to have both Sonar producer & FL Studio Producer XXL open & ready for use. gotta love DAWS :D :D
my internet computer is still on XP & takes over 2 minutes to load,
As Effie would say "How embarrassment" :o :o

This is interesting. I am still way back with XP, and wondered what W7 is like and if I should upgrade. Sounds like positive vibes from here!

yeah. I really like Win 7. I skipped Vista, and went direct from XP to Win 7, I am very impressed with it.
