My old PC with i5 6402P, 8gb, gtx 1605

Still using SATA hdd

Try to run windows 11 and slow like hell

Will changing to SSD going to improve anything?

Plan to use it for normal surfing webpage and occasionally football manager games

If yes, any recommendations for 500gb SSD

If your still on HDD as primary drive then defo YES IT WILL BE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! Boot time can reduce by 50 - 70%
Doesnt matter even Sata SSD will see big improvements, whatmore if going NVME.

For SATA SSD get those with DRAM cache ie Crucial MX500, or Samsung 860/870 Evo, or Kingston KC600 (just becareful that Kingston has a number of sata SSD series but mostly are DRAMless crap or QLC NAND except KC)

Don't think I will go NVME

Slot is hidden behind motherboard, need to unscrew everything and remove my motherboard

SATA SSD is my first choice

Thanks anyway
