My primary question here is, when it comes to a fresh install of Windows is it actually a faster process on an M.2 SSD (Especially MVMe) over a standard HDD even at 7200RPM?
Primary reason why I'm asking is because my brother-in-law is one of the only members in the family that have experience with fresh installations of Windows. However he has never dealt with solid state drives so in his experience it takes between 1 and 3 days for a fresh install.
Because regardless at the end of the day whether it's my own personal build or if I build for others as well, each and every build mine included will at the very least for the OS use an M.2 SSD at 256GB with anywhere between 1-4TB 7200RPM HDD for mass storage.
And of course concerning my own personal build I actually will be going from an FX-4300 and GTX 1050 to either 3rd Gen Ryzen 7 or Core i7 9700k and an RTX 2080 or 2080Ti. keep in mind I am actually an Intel Fanboy and I'm considering going with Ryzen. That's how impressed I was with the keynote for 3rd Gen Ryzen 7.
Any assistance on my primary question about M.2 NVMe in my case (because I'm no longer compromising on anything anymore) vs HDD will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
