Hi I am installing win 10 into the laptop which had win 8 on, win 8 run reasonably well, however win 10 onto a new hdd is taking over two hours, this is ludicrously long.

No processes consuming all sources,
I have installed al updates, it took three hours, the laptop is working reasonably well now,
I do wonder if anyone has any recommendations on what services I might want to disable from 'automatic' startup. I realise these are usually for peoples own unique circumstances.
At present after startup cpu usage is 1% so thats great, HDD usage 1%, however on the memory front 1.2gb is in use and the pc has only started up. its says 45MB of memory is compressed??? cached is 795mb, paged pool is 158,b non paged is 97mb, total paging file is 1152mb, this was a clean install.
Tomorrow I will look to install virtual box, can I expect win xp to run v slowly in virtual box or will it get proper access to hardware?
Thank you for all of your help everyone.

Hi guys,
Thanks for your help so far, one last tricky bit, what do I do in regards to the fact the laptop logs in automatically and refers to the user as "administrator" baring in mind I had to put the following commands in during installation to make it work?

BTW win10 is using 1.4gb just on startup, is there anything I can do to reduce this if not shuttingdown services or prgrams I don't need?

Windows 8.1 key will be fine for windows 10 once you have done at least one install which contains internet connection
Windows 10 is slightly slower than Windows 8.1 but it should also use the Ram better when multitasking... No you are not able to make manual adjustment to Ram eating at start time

All I have done is install windows 10, install the updates, and today I see the HDD light on for ages, I haven't run any checking service manually however you can see malware service is very busy. Is here anything I can do?
