Some reading that will have an impact on boot time.

I should have titled my question "How can I get my PC to boot straight into the desktop without the need for passwords etc."
Thankfully, I have now received the answer which was to run "netplwiz" from the run command, Then just carefully follow the instructions. Works like a charm! Thanks everyone! All your help is really appreciated.

First, I discovered that since I have UEFI instead of the old legacy BIOS, I could turn Secure Boot off and knock the better part of a minute off. Next you could avail yourself of sleep mode or hibernation. These two are things you can do yourself at no cost. A third alternative is to replace your hard drive with an SSD. This will greatly speed a lot of things up beginning with booting, and including program loading and updates. 240 GB SSDs are running about $85. If you can do that yourself, you will save a labor charge which would likely be more expensive than the SSD drive.

Good luck.

Answer
go into startup in task manager and disable some stuff that load at boot up. New device allow you to use Windows Hello. Windows hello uses the camera to boot instead of prompting you for a username and PW. Google Windows Hello. Not sure if it will work on your machine.
