I have Windows professional on my laptop but it takes ages to log on. The laptop used 'Credential Manager' and I have the option on using the fingerprint scanner to log on as well as a password. Is there anything I can do to make it log on faster or is this just something I have to put up with?

Find the My Computer icon on your desktop, right click, click Properties. You'll see how much RAM you have. If it's less than 500 MB, that's why the slow response. Additional RAM cost less than $100 and is easy to install yourself.

there's a program called codestuff starter download it install get into the start up area and uncheck everything that you really don't need at start up I mean everything programs will start when you need them they don't have to run in the background,disable the network you can enable it when you need it,get windows defender it will tell you when something wants to put in the start up,it will give you the option if you want that to happen or not,when you do a defrag always do it when you do a fresh start or restart,remove any software that you don't use before you defrag is a good idea. finally go to pcpitstop.com and run there full test it's free at the end see how many checkered flags you have it will also help you with your start ups and security settings

Has it always taken this long to boot up?
Also, try to modify your startup programs too. Go to the Start Menu, then to Run and type in MSCONFIG. Click on the right tab, Startup, these programs are not necessary for windows to operate, but you dont want to get rid of them all. Remove any of the programs that you do not need to startup when your computer does. Just a note, you can still use these programs, they just wont load as fast the first time you use them.

Do a defrag of your hard drive. Also, perform a disk clean up. I think you can lots of programs that take up the resources.

Yes only if the laptops had WiFi adapters ( which are likely to be built into the motherboard ).
