I find that Win10 boots very quickly. Of course, having at least 4GB of RAM and a fast disk help a lot.

I have 16GB of RAM but I don’t have a SSD.

Having adequate memory helps, but I believe the difference in boot times may be a function of how you did the changeover.
Six months ago, I took my 8 year old PC and - after reformatting the hard drive - did a clean install of Win 10. Even though it only has 2GB of RAM, it boots and operates fast.
On the other hand, I just updated my wife's relatively new Windows 8 PC (w/ 4GB RAM) to Win10 yesterday and it now boots and operates slow.
Freakin' MS.
