    Would a new NVMe OS drive improve my performance much?


    I saw that the 256GB Samsung SM961 VNME SSD is available for $40 right now and was considering picking it up. Even at that cheap price, I'm not certain I'll get much benefit from it. I currently have a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO-Series as my OS drive and I have my games and apps installed on it. I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic. If I get the new drive, I'd use it as my main OS/app drive, and use the 850 EVO for my games.

    So, keeping that in mind how I would use the drive, and that I would keep my games on the 850 EVO, would I see much of a benefit other than my system booting in ten seconds instead of 30? If not, it doesn't seem like it would be worth it, as I leave my system on for days on end and don't boot or reboot all that often. Would I see much improvement in normal, daily use?

    :)

    Installing new NvMe drive and using it as primary boot runnig windows 10

    Hello,

    I have a preinstalled windows 10 along with 30+ apps(both from manufacturer and third party) running on my desktop. I recently bought the Samsung 960 evo NvMe drive and would like to use it as my new boot drive. I know that I have to create a bootable usb
    drive, disconnect all other SSD/HDD, leave only the NvMe drive, install windows on it and then reconnect all the drives back.

    I would like to understand how I could create an ISO image of my preinstalled windows 10(along with all the updates, hardware drivers and apps) and make a bootable USB out of it. Is it possible? if so, could anyone list the steps needed or point me to a
    thread or post online? Thank you.

    Improve PC performance

    The #1 thing that you can do to improve PC performance is to get a good SSD (solid state drive) and make it your system (OS) drive. Nothing else that you can do will improve performance more than this one thing.
