Let's see:

How long does it take after boot for disk I/O to stop if you've got a 5400 rpm hard drive? It's maybe a few minutes after login on 7, and I've never seen it stop on 10.

Why does the calculator take seconds to start? Why does it ignore keypresses when it has focus?

How many clicks does it take to set my IP on an isolated network with no DHCPd? How many different contol interfaces will I see on the way?

On Old Edge (I haven't tried Chrome based Edge), why does the stop button sometimes not stop until the page finishes loading over several seconds? Why do the back and forward, and url navigation interactions queue up in that case?

I'm sure this was your experience, but it was not mine:

Unsure what you are saying. Windows is the only OS to write to disk after boot? I don't see anything hitting the disk after a few seconds.

Instant

It's "instant" to show up, but you got to wait one to two seconds for the splash screen to disappear, whereas the windows 7 showed up instantly and was usable immediately.

That’s not correct, at least it’s not for me. Maybe you need to defrag hard drive?
