boot speed has become one of the criteria to judge performance of computer systems. A slow response system not only delays time but also affects mood. Microsoft's Win8 system has been released for half a year. Let's compare and test the boot speed of Win and Win8 to see if Win8 has better performance at boot speed.

Test environment: Two Dell Vostro 5560 notebooks with the same configuration, one with Windws 7 Ultimate and the other with Windows 8 Pro.

Test Method: Start two devices at the same time to see who is faster to enter the daily operation interface.

Test results: Win8 device boot time is 14 seconds, Win7 is 32 seconds.

Analysis of results:

Win7 boot 32 seconds; Win8 boot 14 seconds

Win8 shutdown is actually a kind of "complete sleep". When the user clicks “Shutdown”, the system stores the current state and memory contents in the image on the disk, and reloads the part of the mirrored data into the memory the next time the system is booted. This method can reduce the load of data when the system starts, and achieve the purpose of quick start.

After the computer is completely hibernated, it is the same as the complete shutdown. "Quiet", the user can completely cut off the power, and the data saved to the hard disk will not be lost due to power failure.

In addition, if the user uses a motherboard that supports UEFI BIOS booting, with SSD high-speed solid state hard disk, then the boot time of Win8 system is only 5 & mdash; 8 seconds of speed & mdash; & mdash; press the power button, blink of an eye Can finish the boot. Users who have higher requirements for Win8 devices may wish to try.
