some things i noticed immediately on those sets of specs.
 
1 your 7700k is not 8 cores its 4 cores and 8 threads
2 your friends cpu is an 8700k which is 6 cores 12 threads
 
so that alone is a performance bump in your friend's favor
 
3 you're running 2 2tb mechanical HDDs - you're friend is running 2 SSDs which again is a massive performance bump for your friend.
 
putting an SSD in your system as the boot drive will improve your performance a lot - get a 480gb SSD (m.2 nvme if you can sata if not performance will still increase) and stick windows and your most played games on it - use your mechanical drives for mass storage and you'll be good to go

either your PC is having issues with the transcoding of the video (not enough hardware grunt) and/or your network can't handle the bandwidth of the files (usually happens with 4k and up video) i would suggest getting plex media server on your PC and grabbing the plex app for your xbox one s
