I was contemplating an SSD drive too, but this desktop seems to boot so fast that I don't see any reason to go for SSD. The only thing I have on this computer so far that takes time to open is Outlook in Office 365. So I just run for my next cuppa and when I get back, I have all my emails ready to read. :)
They make a big difference on a laptop. In many ways. Your typical laptop hard drive is only a slow 5400 RPM drive. Switching from one of those to an SSD is an eye opener. Plus SSD drives draw less power and generate less heat. Both of those add up to better battery life. Your cooling fan runs less. They are lighter and take the occasional bump in stride. No moving parts to get moved in the bump. No head crash etc. On a desktop it's just the speed increase you notice.
I still use the "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool". It still does a good job of burning Windows 7, 8 and 10 ISO's to flash drives.

Doesn't the Windows 7 DVD Download tool format in NTFS? Many PC's wont let you do a UEFI install from an NTFS formatted thumb drive.
