I recently purchased a HP Omen 17.3" Intel® Core i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz with 32 gig ram. From my investigation before I got it, this thing should be a beast. ( should be ) here's the set up, main drive is 128gb M2 that has windows system on it, second drive is a 2.5 1TB Hdd for where games and formation is stored.
Problem; this thing is slower than January molasses booting games. For instance, my grandson has a Acer nitro 5 with Ryzen cpu 16GB ram running 2 256GB M2's. Now if we both boot the same game at the same times, i'll be waiting at least a minute and a half more for mine to load. Were sitting side by side and on the same network.
I've switched out the 1TB HDD for a 2.5 SSD thinking it would load game faster since the SSD if faster than a HDD. It stayed primarily the same, I may of gained a bit, but not much.
My Question; If I replaced the 128GB M2 with a 1TB M2 so it would hold games and all and wouldn't have to interface with a second drive, would it get this disappointment up and moving ?
PS. His machine is running Nvidia GeForce 1650 where mine is running the 1660 if that would make any differance.
Any and all suggestions and help is greatly appreciated
Thank You
