Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a non-volatile memory; a volatile memory being configured to store first, second and third programs; and a processor configured to: in a first activation processing mode, transfer the first program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory; transfer the second program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory based on the stored first program; and parallelly perform, first processing based on the stored second program and transfer of the third program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory, and in a second activation processing mode, transfer the first program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory; transfer the third program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory based on the stored first program; and parallelly perform second processing based on the stored third program and transfer of the second program from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory.
