Lucas. If you press Windows key + R. A run program dialogue will pop up. In there type in "msconfig", without the marks. A menu will pop up. There will be tabs on top. One of the tabs is labelled Start-up. How many items approx, do you have in there? Or if you're keen, screen shot it and post it here, I'll could briefly run ya through, which ones aren't important, and you can untick them for a faster start-up.
Ok I had about 26 items for start up. I removed 6 obvious ones (like HP advisor dock, Norton which is not on my computer, etc).
Just restarting now
