Hi everybody ,
My 1 1/2 years old Dell 5675 is showing me "drive errors" on C 250GB ssd ,and the repair drive error says it cannot repair after trying a few times , the computer still works , with occasional warnings , Firefox doesn't work anymore . I have an empty pci,e slot for an NVMe M2 ssd ,so I read that I can clone the C drive with free macrium trial version onto a newer drive , my question is ,how urgent should I do it ? Is my Dell just about to die ?
Can I order the new drive and wait or I have to rush to a shop ?
I already have inside a slow 3TB hd half full ,can I clone onto the 3TB hd without affecting the files already there?
After the cloning do I have to go into the Bios or Uefi to switch the boot drive?
Some article suggested that just taking out the old drive does the trick and the Mobo will boot with the new drive.
Please help , I accept any suggestion.
Thanks in advance
