Windows 7 Boot Time Record is 11 Seconds
There are many people who are astounded by the Windows 7 boot time when compared to other operating systems. Many people are just not accustomed to a boot time that is less than 30 seconds. The closest thing to come close to the Windows 7 boot time of 11 seconds is the Windows XP boot time in the 64 bit version of Windows XP.
The Windows XP boot time was obviously sped up. It was due to the fact that it was the 64 bit version of Windows XP. The 32 bit version of Windows XP didn’t have a very quick boot time. Seeing that it was 32 bits, it probably never will. The Windows 7 boot time however was due to several factors, according to Windows7News. One of those factors was the fact that it was a 64 bit version of Windows 7, but that isn’t even the half of it.
The Windows 7 operating system itself is able to utilize resource much better than the older Windows operating system. For example, many people complained of gaining no PC gaming performance in many games when they upgraded to a quad-core processor. That is mainly because the programs were not designed to take advantage of 4 processors. The sad thing about it is that the older operating systems didn’t take full advantage of it either. Windows 7 on the other hand uses all of the processors available without wasting much of the processing power. The Windows 7 boot time is the result of this new technology in Windows 7. The Windows 7 boot time of 11 seconds has only been proven on a quad-core PC with hyper threading. That means it used all 8 processors that showed up in the device manager. You can locate your device manager in your control panel to check how many processors you have on your PC. Most people with modern computers have only 2 processors. Quad core processors are more expensive meaning that you’d know if you had one if you paid that much money for it.
This doesn’t mean that your Windows 7 boot time will be 11 seconds however. That is unless you are willing to spend the money that is required to have a quad-core PC that supports hyper threading technology. Also you’ll want to have a great deal of DDR3 RAM to allow the hyper threading quad-core PC to breath when it’s handling large files.
