I need a new boot drive for my workstation (must be Sata).
I can get a 2 TB Evo or 4TB QVO for about the same price.

The QVO is slower and has a smaller write life but is a thing to worry about in real life?
It will be running Windows if that matters

QVO isn't suitable for an os drive. Use the Evo.

If it’s just for windows you don’t need 2 or 4tb, Windows is not that big. 512gb would be more than enough for the average users OS+programs.

Not if you plan on installing any games.

A boot/system drive doesn’t typically contain games.

Why wouldn't it? A lot of people install games to the default location and the default location for a lot of things, games included, is C:\Program Files
