Can you post fdisk -l and blkid ?
If you do not have dial-up Internet, you can disable ModemManager.service
If you do not use snaps, you can disable snapd.service as well as snapd.apparmor.service
Actually, you can remove snapd and modemmanager and the services should go away with the removal. I use neither and have removed both with no consequences. I would check if snapd is required for something on your system before removal.

Awesome I don’t use neither, please helpme disabling snapd and modemmanager
You can disable a service with systemctl disable <service> and then
systemctl mask <service>.
You must execute fdisk -l as root or sudo.

7 seconds boot time is quite good for an HP Pavilion Laptop 15 with / and /home installed on the internal HDD:

instead of the additional SSD:
What are you trying to accomplish here?
Please also note that:
Its true that its is been mentioned as 7 seconds, but it nearly takes about 45 to 60 seconds to get to the login screen and then another 10 to 15 seconds after I enter the password. I am new here to linux as i have mentioned earlier, i usedto work on windows, i became interested in linux after knowing about its speed, security, and load handling capacity, but currently my linux’s starup speed is much slower than my windows which also runs in the same device, so i am really in search of an solution for this. I asked my friend (he has a thinkpad i7 processor which starts within 7 to 9 seconds in total) he told me to reinstall manjaro, but i thought i could learn something here as a beginer from this community, i hope i am clear with my problem
and thanks for your thanks for your 2 points I took note of it

Well, if you’ve just installed Mannjaro, yes your friend is correct that reinstalling the OS and swap on the SSD will improve speeds as you’re comparing Windows booting from the SSD to Manjaro booting of a 5400 RPM HDD.
Please read this:
and read the hardware documentation of your machine as I can see 3 ESPs on your system and ideally you should have only 1, but we can’t tell you why you have those or which one is active when you boot the other OSes you have installed (3 in total???), so please also ready this:
before you do anything as that will take a full system backup of all the OSes installed as deleting the wrong ESP will make your system unbootable / some OSes unbootable if you use the UEFI firmware to swap between multiple ESPs (I’m not saying it’s impossible to have multiple ESPs as you clearly have 3, but it complicates matters)…
If I were you, I’d:
- have one ESP with all OSes booting from that on the SSD (
/dev/sdb) - Give Windows 64-128 GB on the SSD for its C:-drive (for a light user up to heavy user)
- Give Manjaro 32-64 GB on the SSD for its
/andswap(for a light user up to heavy user) and another 64GB for its/home - Give Windows 80% of the 1TB drive for its D:-drive and mount that one as
/media/dataunder Manjaro so you have access to that partition from both OSes. - Don’t allocate the rest and keep it as spare for future extensions.
OR
- Do nothing and know that Manjaro is installed purely on the HDD and is thus slower in boot, but once booted will be as fast as possible on the hardware you have… (I.E. a very slow HDD@5400 RPM only)

some tips:
-
in
/etc/default/grub, you can deletesplash’ parameter in theGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""to win 2-3 seconds of boot time -
in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf, you can:-
add
i915to theMODULESsection like this:MODULES=(i915) -
In the
HOOKSsection ensure the following are available at a minimum:HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf keyboard keymap block filesystems fsck)
-
after the above, you must run:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub
reboot
Note: if your system doesn’t have update-grub run: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg instead.
