After having to take a look at a friend's laptop for them, and waiting over two minutes to get in, I'd say a great big yes!Does getting to the desktop a few seconds quicker make any difference?
A modern mech HDD on clean install will not take 3 mins more like 30-50secs.
Dealing with something still on an ancient spinning rust drive that takes three minutes to give you a usable desktop, rather larger deal.

Fastest boot I ever had was about 5-6secs on Win 8 or 8.1, it is on slower on Win 10 as by design it loads lot of stuff then lets you use it (you can disable this).
So on a non clean install 1+ minutes. Nobody wants to wait that time for a device to boot.

Booting isn't so much of a hassle, it's more the hassle when you have to reboot after installing or updating something, especially when there are several reboots in the sequence, when all you want to is just get on with the game or app.Does getting to the desktop a few seconds quicker make any difference?
