i finally updated to 11. its really good everything loads fast. it takes 7 minutes to start windows 10

i suggest you upgrade to latest windows if its possible

 

Nice try, Bill Gates

 

Windows? Yea right.

 

7 minute start up in 2024 is fast?

edit: nvm, read it wrong lol. I'm on Win 10, my shit starts in like 2 minutes

 

Not taking sides here (I use both Windows and Mac), but here's a clip with Microsoft at the 2024 NAMM Show talking about all the MIDI 2.0 being implemented in Windows (probably only Win 11). He mentions, ahem, that Mac already has all this. But he also says all of their MIDI code is open source, so maybe the Linux folks can implement it too.

 

I could see that being a thing, yes... IF you were "upgrading" from windows 3.1 maybe...

 

mine takes like 15 seconds...

7 mins? how 'bout 10 seconds from cold start on a gen4 nvme lol

 

7 mins sounds like something's wrong with BIOS or Windows imo

for reference, I got 22 seconds boot into Windows 11, and I'm using 9 years old i7-5820K and "only" SATA SSD - Samsung 860 Pro 1TB

speaking of Windows 11, it would deserve bit more polishing, but overall it's not that bad nowadays,
and with Ventoy it was easy clean install even on my "unsupported" hardware spec, no issues

 

Ventoy is really interesting

 

7 minutes to load win 10?

It takes 1 min 18 seconds to load up win 7 on here!

 

Definetly something wrong with the system or you DRAMATIZING.
My Win 10 boot in like 18 seconds.

As your statement that Win 11 is the best for music production.
My statement is that
Windows 10 is the best for modern x64 software and vst3 plugins (less bloatware and spying trash than Win 11. Also RAW Win 10 system take less RAM than RAW Win 11 system)
And
Windows 7 is the best for older x86 software and vst2 plugins. (Modern software and plugins will not work on Win 7. That's why it loose with Win 10)

 

9 seconds, Windows 10 old I7 4790
25$ Sandisk 128GB SSD (OS and Audio-Graphics-Video apps)

LOL

 

My Windows 11 boots in about 10 seconds, I'm using a 13 year old i7-4500U, 8 Ram and SSD-Silicon Power A55 2TB

what the hell are you guys talking about with these MINUTES TO BOOT??? your pcs have issues if that is the case. my laptop with dual partition win xp/7 both boot in under 5 seconds. desktop with win 10/11 both boot in under 10 seconds.

imo win7 is/was the absolute best platform to produce music on, with xp not far behind. I still use it but only for legacy and hardware stuff thanks to most developers not supporting it anymore.

then comes win 10, which is just ok after you clean the shit out of it, setup and get used to all the niggles.

win 11 has been nothing short of a major pain in the ass and I for one would never rely on it for anything other than net surfing. and even that and the most basic menial tasks have major issues now and again with their stupid updates and all the defender virus firewall crap. its a constant struggle with 11. HATE IT.

 

my computer boots in -3.5 seconds, and I get 300 miles per gallon and have sex every hour on the hour with celebrities.
and I once caught a fish that was this <-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> big.....

 

Win 11 here. Loads up fast but most importantly I'm able to make music without any problems whatsoever.
