many many times

 

SSD write endurance is more than people think its sometihng like 3000x cycles, its like 10gb a day for 28 years

 

For example this 840 evo managed to write 78Tib

Really dont worry about it. Modern ssd will outlast your whole pc. You would need to write lots and lots of gigs. This is from article.

Of the six, the best performers are HyperX 3K and 840 Pro both have written more than two petabytes of data (2,097,152 GB)

To reach that mark in 10 years, you would have to write 204.8 TB of data each year. That is 17.06 TB of data each month, or approximately 574.4 GB each day.

yeah W10 has auto updates so not much you can do about it

 

I would wait for them to finish as they will automatically get drivers and keep things up to date as best they can, once its done you can then manually download what you need
