Just installed Windows 10 on my fathers laptop. Did an upgrade from 8.1 Pro to 10 Pro. Then did a clean install. Same issue. On boot up I see the HP BIOS Logo, then the Windows logo with the spinning dots. Then the screen goes blank, just the backlight for almost 2 full minutes. Then I finally see the logon screen and it goes to the desktop. Legacy BIOS with legacy install of Windows 10 Pro latest edition offered up by the Media Creation tool. No such issue with Windows 8.1. Local account with no password. << Just temporary while I get it all setup for him. I can see some occasional hard drive activity while its on the blank screen. Device manager doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. No unknown devices etc. Ran Windows update several times and it shows as all up to date. It's an HP DV7 something laptop (have to go find my bifocals to read it) that shipped with Windows 7.
Just looking for ideas as to what to check before I go back to Windows 8.1. I did quick forum search but didn't really find anything current.
