    Internal SSD with the operating system on it. No other upgrade I’ve made to my PC has ever been so substantial.

          HDD, SSD and NVMe all have different versions. Later generations are normally 2x faster than previous version. Comparable generations are normally an 8x speedup. (Later generations are in parentheses).

          HDD to SSD is like 80(160)->300(600).
          SSD to NVMe is 300(600)->2400(4800, 14000).

          So, it’s likely a similar upgrade, unless you did HDD-g1 to SSD-g2 to NVMe-g1 (using G1/G2 to simplify).
          It’s also likely possible that your computer is running so fast that a doubling or quadrupling in speed is a diminishing return as you don’t notice the difference.
