You can try adjusting system settings or using hardware optimization tools to boost performance. Some free methods include updating drivers, managing startup programs, and ensuring adequate cooling. However, modern machines often provide significant gains through software tweaks rather than hardware alone.

You can retain your programs without needing a full reinstall. The games are saved partially on the SATA SSD, so disconnecting it during the process should preserve your data.

Switched case, added more RAM, extra budget for better SSD or slightly improved PSU but I’m not sure. Could skip two M.2 and use a larger one if needed—depends on whether you need extra storage. Storage doesn’t have to be M.2, just the OS and games should live there for performance.

Occasionally updating a local user account is sufficient for Windows to respond more quickly.
