Hey there, I noticed you're using both macOS Sierra and Windows 10 on a single HDD. Everything seems fine so far. However, when you try to switch back to Windows after booting into macOS, it takes around 10 minutes to load. Could anyone help identify the issue and suggest a solution?

What are the details of your device? How quickly does it start up on macOS? Have you attempted launching directly into Windows without going through macOS first?

Obtain an SSD.

Model: Intel i3 4130 with 8GB DDR3 SSD (1TB) and Gt610 graphics. Boots to macOS in 25-30 seconds. Initially tried Windows, it started within 15-20 seconds, but I’m experiencing problems when booting macOS first.

I'm not really familiar with bootcamp. However, since it usually requires similar time to install either operating systems, it seems like a lot of swapping is happening. As @duncannah mentioned, upgrading to an SSD might help. Your processor, though, isn't the fastest—just a simple note.

I’m still getting the hang of bootcamp, so I don’t know the typical time to change operating systems. You might find it quicker to simply restart the machine and switch to your desired OS if it only takes about 30 seconds.

Do you know how to figure out or grasp the read/write speeds of a hard disk?

The extended boot time for Windows 10 is probably due to the Fastboot feature, which is turned on by default. When enabled, it can partially hibernate the system during shutdowns. Turning it off will significantly speed up startup since Windows won’t be hidden in hibernation mode.
