My new motherboard has the option for an m.2 stick but I went with a Samsung 850 500GB and Windows loads extremely fast. I usually don't turn the computer off but when I need to reboot it it takes about 5-10 seconds to get from me clicking reboot to me typing in my password to get back into Windows. Based on that, I don't know how much faster an m.2 would be.

From technical speeds, m.2s (depending on the model) are usually 4x faster for read and 2x faster for write than most (not all) standard SSDs.
Take a look at the read/write specs on this hot mama:

At 2,500MB/s read and 1,500MB/s write, that is 5x and 3x (respectively) faster than the average SSD.
