Doing good folks? I hope so, since the help you give us, amateurs, must be rewarded accordingly!
So, last time I've been here, I wanted help with RAM upgrade, which by the way, was solved, and I just don't know how to mark it as so. Thanks to you guys I could choose the right RAM for my PC.
So, I'm here to repeat the process. Now, I'd like to know if there is anything I should know (compatibility related) with SSD. I'm using HDD for long, and I would like to test this "new" tech, since people say good things about it and its advantages.
Knowing my Motherboard, and the fact that not all RAMs would work with such, here comes my questions:

Knowing my Motherboard, and the fact that not all RAMs would work with such, here comes my questions:
- Does this same compatibility issue apply to SSD (like, do I need to check SSD brands carefully to get it to work with Motherboard)? In my first post example (about RAMs), some Crucials RAM would not be compatible, so I had to choose the right one for me (I believe I chose something like CTG16AFRA32, or something like that).
- If so, how can I check SSD x Motherboard compatibility?
- If you have any brand recommended, what would these be?
- PCIe and NVMe are really the same thing?
- I heard that SATA is much inferior than PCIe/NVMe, is that really a thing?
- I don't really care if I reinstall the Windows entirely (that means I don't think I want to clone the HDD, I'd be okay with a brand new reboot). Considering that, how would I install and boot to SSD step by step?
