How can I change OS drive to  M.2 NVME .  The computer is a HPE Pavilion Elite HPE-480t, the only thing I can find is to add a PCIe card and mount the M.2 drive on the card. Will this work properly and will it be significantly better then the HDD?

I decided to make some comparisons with some HDD & SSD drives on my desktop. Results are displayed in the attached image.

@lrclost,

Your existing system is circa 09/2010.  The SATA ports are 3Gb/sec.

What PCIEx port. The PCIEx4 version 2.0 should give you 8-10Gb/sec.
