How long does it take for everyone's Windows 10 to boot up?
My setup is a U7 270K with an M.2 5.0 SSD, but the BIOS boot time shows over 10 seconds, which feels a bit slow. I’d like to know how fast everyone else’s systems boot up.

This number isn't your computer's total boot time. It's the time it takes for your motherboard's firmware (UEFI/BIOS) to initialize all your hardware before Windows even starts to load. This process is called POST (Power-On Self-Test), where it checks your CPU, RAM, drives, and graphics card to make sure everything is working.
