In priority, what part of my PC should I want to upgrade in order to get faster reaction times on my charts?

A higher clock speed. Also more cores and more memory will be helpful to the overall system. These last two items are not necessarily going to make a difference to Sierra Chart.


How much of an impact does the speed of my SSD hard drive have here?
It should make a big difference with chart data loading.

In the current situation, I have other programs installed on the SSD. Your documentation mentions it is preferable to only have Sierra Chart installed on the SSD. I am going to do this. Would you recommend simply deleting other programs/folders manually or formatting altogether?
Just deleting them is fine.

As long as no other program is running from the same SSD anymore, no matter what method used, it should be right?
Yes.


I'm also considering buying an NVME SSD. How relevant do you think this would be with this concern in mind, for faster chart responsiveness?
Will make a difference with chart data loading.
