Before implementing the following tips, the notebook took a leisurely 1 minute and 40 seconds to start Windows 7.Īt this point in our tests, we’d reduced our boot time considerably-down to just 45 seconds on the Sony VAIO SE. We performed each tip (with the exception of the last) on the Sony VAIO SE to see how much we could speed up its boot time. If you’re looking for the speed of an Ultrabook but don’t want to shell out the dough, buy an SSD. See our “How to install an SSD in your notebook” for a more complete description of the process.Īfter installing a 256GB Samsung 830 Series SSD on the Sony VAIO SE, the boot speed tripled, cutting the time from 45 seconds to just 15 seconds. Installing an SSD is fairly easy: Just copy the contents of your hard drive onto the SSD, then remove the hard drive (a screwdriver may be required) and replace it with the SSD. Restart the PC and keep pressing F8 to get it into Windows Boot Manager. The benefits of an SSD come with decreased storage capacity, but you can now pick up a 128GB for less than $100. Sometimes, your PC gets stuck at automatic repair loop or is attempting repair forever because Windows thinks that there is a problem with your PC while there is not, so you may just restart the PC. Because they have no moving parts, SSDs offer super-fast boot and wake times and file-transfer speeds as high as 500 MBps.
Yes it's cheating, but without a doubt, the best way to reduce your boot time is to install a solid-state drive.
