That's weird, until recently I had a 3930k on which I occasionally ran Win 10. The computer had a SATA SSD (Samsung 840). It worked very well. It was occasional because I find Windows annoying for reasons other than performance.
I've upgraded the CPU to a Xeon E5-2667 v2 (basically a 4th gen i7) to get PCIE 3 for my GPU. I've installed Windows 11 on it for my curiosity / gaming needs. It works very well, I'd say it's smoother / snappier than Win 10, but I'm wondering whether that's just some tweaked animation delays.
It's undeniably better than on some 8th gen i5u + NVMe I have on a work laptop - which is officially supported!
