This is not a proper test. Windows does optimizations on the first few boots which makes the startup take longer. As it's not mentioned in the video, we have to assume this was not accounted for, which completely invalidates the results.

Well considering almost every time I reboot it seems to do a windows update, those optimizations are probably running every time anyway. It's almost fair.

I thought it being Toms was enough to discount any actual evidence.

Tom's has become a disappointment. It's been like that for years, since the buyout.
