I have no clue why this is taking at least 15 MINUTES to boot. I have Microstoft Office loaded, and pretty much that is it. HELP.

You may try to use ctrl+alt+delete and go to process manager to see apps that run on startup. Also to use winkey+R, launch "msconfig" there and disable all unwanted services, but be careful with those. Of course 15 mins omg! is too much for this but always useful to know...
Could be a virus, could be a failing hard drive. Did you do a virus/malware scan? Check for hard drive issues using a utility from Lenovo or the drive vendor?
