This video was in the list from before. Good review though.

Very Interesting! I just didn't know about the M.2 SSD drive.

M.2 will make your head explode without the rest of the details. Is it M.2 SSD or PCIe? If it's PCIe, is it gen 1, gen 2, gen 3 or gen 4? Is the size 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, or 110mm size? I haven't watched the video, so I don't know how much detail he gets into on that "standard".

It's the standard these days. Both of my desktops use M.2 drives. Looks like a RAM stick, so easy to store and deal with.

Yep, on my laptop I have the option to use a M.2 drive and a 2.5 SSD drive.

I am seriously thinking about buy a SSD drive to install on my old computer that is Pentium 4 - 3.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, with Windows XP and install there the Windows 10 so it can run faster, Do you think that is a crazy idea?

Put opensuse on it instead. Unless you just love windows

Yes, it's crazy. Even if you can get a $30 SSD like we can from Amazon here in the US (small WD Green drive), it's not worth putting $30 into a computer worth at best $5.
Pentium 4 wasn't just a 32bit processor, it was a really, really slow 32bit processor. It was so bad that they had to bring the Pentium 3 back with a new name to keep their products alive while they figured out what to do. It's considered the worst processor ever made (that got actually sold.) And with only 3GB of RAM, it doesn't have anything there going for it, either.
It's only $55 if you shop around to get a quad core, 64bit, 8GB RAM Raspberry Pi. If you are going to talk about adding an SSD to something, start with at least that.
