Not sure why you are asking these questions? Are you writing an article?
All your example questions are well known as to what they do or change experience of PC usage. Make or model of the PC has nothing to do with a majority of PC's (some work better with specific brands of upgrades for instance).
A simple Google search for each item will get the answer you are looking for.
First item, cloning an SSD as the boot drive will accomplish that (and why most PC ships with an SSD boot drive).
The last example question is a 2-parter. first part is an obvious answer in itself.
Better gaming required a 'better' video card, but there are so many to choose from and capacities.... question needs more specific.
A lot are about overall performance issues, and there are many ways and components that can play into that. Some are even impossible to do, like a CPU upgrade but would help overall performance.
Ask for other XPS Desktop owner tips sure make me think you are writing something it seems?
Just saying.
