    10 seconds ? blink of an eye.

    A minute longer, do a couple Safe Boots and Repair the drive.

    Before installing is also a good time to do those, AND make a bootable backup (safety net) "just in case."

     

    We are Mac Pro, not MacBook Pro forum; though I think Yosemite is most appropro for this question.

     

    Commonly heard: new OS runs slower / like molasses / broke compatibility. The 2011 and older MBP often have trouble and have minimum RAM (4GB) and older, slower SSDs or no SSD at all.

     

    You might even want to run and look at the output from Etrecheck and post results if you have any questions or it turns up anything.

     

    And make sure your system has 20% or more free space.
