I have a 240 gig Intel SSD also , Win 7 bootup was 8 seconds tops , Win 10 is about 20 seconds .[/QUOTE]
Ok now I'm jealous!!! I am running more startup app's than you, I would guess. Nice times you got!!!

No need to be jealous , boot up times are very different than actual overall system performance . My SSD gets mediocre numbers at best in all those SSD speed tests and is near the bottom compared to most other peoples SSD numbers i have seen.
It boot's very fast but is so so regarding other applications , it's an Intel 530 SSD . It's the only SSD in this laptop , i barely have anything installed on it since i never download and keep stuff .
Only 17% is ever used of the 240 gigs.

Ok mine is the 520 SSD On my HP Pavilion Desktop. I also have Intels SSD Toolbox installed. Just installed their newest update yesterday. Just released recently, works on your model too. latest firmware comes with toolbox too. I assume you run that on your laptop. If not you should. I am using about 20% on my SSD. Most of my programs load fast, no problems. Just not as fast on boot up as I would like, but, I'm working on that too. :)

I got you , probably have quite a few startup programs or programs that take longer to load thats taking the time away . Yes, i have the Intel toolbox and have had the 3.3.0 version installed , thanks for letting me know about the upgrade , didn't know they released it on 8/17 .
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but the article linked at the start of this thread really only gives you the story for one particular hardware configuration. My experience with Windows 10 has been quite variable so far, particularly on old and less powerful hardware.
Tablets using a WIMBoot install of 8.1 seem MUCH faster after the update to 10, presumably due to the improved Windows 10 compression. Tablets which come with a regular 8.1 install are perhaps fractionally slower with 10.
Installing on XP/Vista-era hardware is even more variable. I have a single core Athlon 64 desktop system which appears to be running Windows 10 happily enough, the boot time seems faster and everything else is on a par with Windows 7. However a Pentium-M laptop is struggling, software video decoding performance in particular is noticeably worse under Windows 10 than under 7.
