Boot time Doubt

themaskofwraith · Apr 4, 2014

Hi,

Recently i installed windows 8 on my laptop and Desktop.

My desktop is powerful than my laptop, but my desktop takes sweet 10 seconds to boot to the desktop, while my laptop takes just 4 seconds to boot to the desktop. Time calculated after the bios flash screen.

Isnt the desktop suppose to boot faster than laptop?

I dont want to improve the boot time or anything , i just want to know how it works exactly.

My Laptop:
Lenovo G580
i5-3230M
4Gb RAM
kingston 64GB V100 SSD as boot drive
500GB storage drive

My Desktop:
i5-4440
Gigabyte H87 D3H
12GB GSKILL RIPJAWSX ram
Kingston 120GB V300 SSD (boot Drive)
3TB +1TB+500GB 7200RPM storage drives
GTX 560 1GB graphics Card.

Thanks

Laptops generally take less time to boot as their HDDs are smaller and thus the reader has to travel less distance, which is still relevant b/c your machine checks every disk, so that could be a reason for the desktop to go slower. Plus the more files you have on one of those SSDs the slower it gets. Hope I helped a little.

Silibant :

The SSDs in both laptop and desktop are almost empty being new install. The laptop ssd is slower than the desktop one.

My guess is like win8 needs to initialize more hardware on desktop than laptop, but im not really sure bcz win8 saves data to increase boot time.

but im glad that u tried.
