[SOLVED] M.2 installation for computer

[samuel.bettinger]

So this is a basic question actually. I am wanting to get a m.2 ssd 500 gb for my computer but I still want my storage and everything on my hard drive. So I know how to install it, once I install it what do I do?

What motherboard do you use?
What do you use this system for?
Which specific "m.2" drive are you looking at?
What do you mean by "storage and everything" ?
What OS is this?

I use a tufB360M-Plus Gaming s motherboard, I use this pc for gaming, and I also use windows, my plan is to make loading in to games faster not so much the storage, I am looking at the Samsung 970 Evo 250 Gb

250GB isn't much for the OS and games.

So should I get a 500 or 1Tb?

For a pure game machine, I'd get a SATA based drive, instead of NVMe.
The m.2 Samsung 860 EVO or Crucial MX500.
Twice the size for the same money.

And for that use, you'd not see any difference.

What drives do you have now?
