I finally solved the problem of slow booting. The trick is that I have to install windows 7 on GPT formated M.2 drive. Then I have problems with drivers not found and my solution is as follow:

1. make bootable usb with rufus (GPT partition)
2. make dvd with same iso file
3. start installation from usb then when drivers not find insert dvd and continue installing.
