Watch out for Windows 11, version 22H2

The speed difference is very nice.
Little stuff like reading tncr is about the same, no big deal.
Copying lots of big files takes probably less than 10% of the time on the old HDD.
MS Flight Sim install went from 9+ hours to 3+ hours.
Boot time now is maybe a minute or so, it used to be 10-15 minutes.

I just checked. My 2023 Mac Mini (M2 chip) booted from its internal SSD.
From startup chime to functioning desktop and all external devices mounted.
23.05 seconds.

Yeah, it's definitely worth shelling out from time to time - my 2-3 year old PC boots in about 15 seconds. NVMe FTW.

You know how you format the drive and install Windows
Then you install about a million Apps that go back for years and years
And after about a day and a half you install something that won't let the machine run for more than a few minutes before hitting the "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH".
And over the next 2 days you reboot about several hundred times.
Then you finally reformat and start over again.
That is what I have been doing.

I stopped doing that after Windows 7, for the reasons given in the rest of your post.

After several days and hundreds of re-boots the problem is finally fixed.
I wiped out both the HDD and SSD and made the system completely unusable.
My best guess is that I had some kind of hardware error that made the problem show up a failure of, mouse, keyboard, video card, memory, system software, cooling system, and both drives.
Solution: unplug everything and put the machine in the closet.
Go to Costco and get a decent gaming PC, the kind with the see-through case that appeals to middle school gamer types. Lucky that I keep lots of backups.
Problem solved.
