Windows 7 boots VERY slowly.
It was a very slow install and it boots up extremely slow. I'm talking a good 15-16 mins before I reach the desktop. I went from XP to Windows 7. Any ideas?

Did you UPGRADE instead of a clean install? That could be your problem, because your system specs shouldn't have any issues booting. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Freelancer852 - The-Tank

Should work, however, bad idea. It seem that quite a few people have had the same problem (not sure why). A clean install from XP to seven is truly the best way to go. If you are going to buy a new copy of Win 7 it would be a good idea (unless you just want to fool around) to wait until you have the Win 7 version that is going to suit you later down the line. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion a4302f

With the final version of Windows 7 people will need to do a clean install (the "upgrade" option in the installer is disabled). There are good reasons for it.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.

Where about is this delay occurring?
During BIOS or while Windows is actually loading?
Try unplugging any USB devices like storage drives etc
