Will depend on what you are doing. If you surf the internet, use social media and/or shop online, not much difference. If you will be editing 4K video that consists of very large files, yes a major difference. Anything else you do that involves moving large amounts of data is faster with NVMe.

What about boot speed and opening applications ? Would it be noticeably faster with NVMe?

Opening programs, not much. Boot times might improve by 3-5 seconds so not a huge difference. Also depends on which Sata SSD you compare to which NVMe drive.
Going from a spinner HDD to an SSD, sata or NVMe, is where it really makes everything seem so much faster than before the upgrade.
