Make sure you update Windows and the drivers for your laptop or desktop PC. At work we use Dell pc’s for the most part. The images that were created for the different models we use failed to have all the drivers installed. I think the Network dept just installed Windows 7 and did a Windows update then froze the image as the people who call in are complaining how slow everything is on new pc’s or re-imaged pc’s. Dell has at their support site two things you can use to get the drivers. Dell Command and Detect Drivers. I have has calls with the pc missing 200mb to 917mb worth of software from Dell needed. The updates fixed the issues.
Check your model and update.

I have an Acer and it boots in 15 seconds using a SSD drive. No issues so far since I bought it in Feb of this year.

SSD (Solid State Drive) and Hard Drive Disk are not the same. Please see this video to understand the difference.

For example the hard drive on my Acer notebook has 300 GB capacity. I bought it used on eBay for $50 delivered to my home. How much will a 300 GB SSD cost?

Last year I bought a Toshiba desktop with SSD and Windows 10. the capacity of that SSD was so pathetic, the OS took up most of it, and my application software had no room to store it on SSD. I returned the computer for full refund.
