Now that's fast

Have specs will post

built a gamer box last december with a 960 PCIe M.2 interface. Windows ISO installed from USB 3.0 thumbdr in about 3 minutes

Make a note... PCIe M.2 not SATA M.2 check mobo specs. Most M.2's can support either keying, however, not all Mobo/BIOS bus the M.2 as PCIe

Then run updates - 4 hours later

No updates. Just start with a current Win ISO + Cumulative Quality Build. This was actually a Win10 Pro Install using a Win 7 Pro Key

Me too!
My 'On-The-Road' notebook is a Lenovo 'Twist' that asks for me login credentials, from a cold boot, in 7-8 seconds.
I use it as a demo to make an easy sale of SSD.
I literally count to 8 in front of my client and usually history repeats itself.

Good idea, I never thought of using my out and about laptop to demonstrate the speed of SSD

Win10 Pro bootup/shutdown on M.2 NVME drive now feels as fast as CentOS, Ubuntu, or Mint 17/18 on a 5400 RPM laptop drive!

Windows 7 for $16.76?
Are these legal keys?

Our illegal keys are more illegal than yours. So they cost more!

You guys can't be running Windows, can you? Only the server and my mining machine run 24/7. My desktops all do automated local backups at midnight and shut off afterwards. For my machine, I run Quickbooks and have hundreds of automated transactions that only trigger on startup, so either I have to exit and reenter Quickbooks each day or shutdown the machine. Windows is so much happer with a daily reboot, I choose that option.

SSDs help, but I have a couple of VPN clients on my machine, and they slow down the boot considerably. It's a pain, no question.

The 2 linux machines I use for data recovery & cloning start so fast, I just turn them on when needed, then off when that task is done.

A couple are running windows a couple linux. Only go down for maintenance or when something requires a reboot.

I shut down everything every night. Can't trust the power around here.
