(Aside: depending on how you are comparing storage requirements, some of
that space may be a complete full backup of the Windows install.)
Windows boot and login times are weird. I work part-time for two
companies that both provide me with a Win10 PC to use. One of them boots
up in about a minute, and logs on instantly. The other also boots up in
about a minute, but takes about three minutes to log in, and even then
there's obviously still stuff going on in the background because
performance is pretty horrible for another two or three minutes.
The two machines are roughly equivalent in hardware specs, and once the
second one settles down, performance is more or less the same as the
first.
