Win 8 Dell with free upgrade to 10. BSOD and drive errors
I have a Dell that was originally a Win 8 and did the free upgrade to 10. Computer has been lagging and hanging for past couple of weeks. Now I get the BSOD intermittently. In the Win notices I am getting notice for drive errors and also requests to run drive scan and fix errors. I have done this more than a few times and and keep getting the Win 10 notices and computer freezing. I am assuming I need to change the drive but unsure about reinstalling Win 10 since this was originally a Win 8 computer. Also how would I boot the computer when the new drive is installed to install the new OS? I am new at this sort of thing. Any guidance or tips would be appreciated.
