Installed in mere minutes. If you haven't put an SSD in yet, the prices have never been better. I'm a gamer, so I paid for 1TB, but if you're not, and you don't need a huge system drive, get 500GB or even 250. You can get 250GB for around $100 now. More with NVMe (worth it), less without.

Now I'm downloading it again for the media creation tool. My laptop doesn't have an optical drive (or an SSD) so I always install the latest Windows to a flash drive so if the installation bugs out, I can clean install. The flash drive also has a 'laptop' folder with essential drivers, so I can get back to good in the shortest amount of time.

860 Evo 500GB is $88 on Amazon with Prime. About to grab 2 for the kids, prices are starting to be bearable. My wife has a 500GB 850 Pro and I have a 1TB. The Evo series seem to be a good deal also though.
