Guess you missed it. Have the same 3rd party software installed in both
examples.
Defrag with Diskeeper once a week or after any critical update.
And, yes, the boot time is a function of what is booting up as shown by
msconfig as part of that. So is ALL the hardware used on the PC. So, is if
the hardware is playing well with each other or competing for use. So, is
any fruitless search of the boot for something that may not exist as another
example. So, comparative total boot time analogies without this data mean
absolutely nothing.
