What is the best free sysadmin tool to analyze startup issues

I just set up a new Windows 8.1 machine for a customer and I want it to be "perfect".  Startup time is 50 seconds, but this machine has a fast processr and 8 GB of RAM.  I think it can do better.

What is the best free sysadmin tool to analyze startup issues?

I found a list at http://blog.profitbricks.com/best-free-sysadmin-tools/  ...

I'm thinking System Explorer - http://systemexplorer.net/ 

or Process Explorer - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx 

I'd love to hear feedback.

Thanks

Ok, you measure from POST to "desktop appears". With a standard hdd and a standard computer (2 GBs and up, 2 CPU cores and up) on a freshly installed win8.1, this will take between 30 secs and a minute (full boot, not kernel hibernation aka fast boot), depending on the HDD quality (that is: speed). So 50 secs are quite normal. With an ssd, you would expect to see between 10 and 20 seconds.
