32GB RAM won't speed up boot or app load times unless you were running out.

No, unless you were constantly maxing out your previous RAM.

Boot times are almost entirely about your storage drive (SSD vs. HDD) and the motherboard’s initialization speed. More RAM doesn’t make your system start faster. Same goes for application load times—the bottleneck is usually the storage speed, not how much memory you have.

The exception: if you were regularly hitting your old RAM limit and the system was swapping to disk (using a page file on your slow storage), then adding more RAM will stop that swapping. That can make a noticeable difference in responsiveness and load times for heavy apps like video editors or virtual machines. But for typical use—browsers, Office, light gaming—16GB is already plenty, and 32GB won’t make your apps pop open any quicker.

Check your task manager. If RAM usage is below 80% most of the time, you won’t see a boot or load time improvement. Save your money for a faster SSD.
