I'd mistook you keeping both OS. You're good to go also with PCIE SSD,
although I'd question the point with only a browser in hand.

And I'd need the real experience of running both PCIe Gen3x2 M.2
against SATA SSD for an impression of applicable benefits. Presumably
perhaps a couple times faster than SATA, although I might advance, on
a loan, that you really can't expect HTML5 to look any prettier for
it.

You'll also need more help with XP and how all that works: having an
assembled hardware platform -- in subsequent preparation of stages and
processes for "bringing it all up" into its intended final
configuration.
