How do I check if my drive is failing in Windows 10?
user
Here’s how to check your hard drive health on Windows by doing an HDD test or S.M.A.R.T. test:

1) Type cmd or command into the taskbar search field and click Command Prompt to open the Command Prompt.

2) In the Command Prompt, type in wmic diskdrive get status and press Enter.

3) If the status reads OK, that means you’ve passed the Windows 10 hard drive test and your hard drive is healthy.

4) If the status reads Pred Fail, that means Windows has found at least one error on your hard drive, meaning your hard drive is unhealthy. But before you try to fix your hard drive, back up your files or clone your hard drive right away.

Hope this helps!

What should I do if my drive fails? Replace the word "drive" with the word "duck" in your reply.

Here’s what to do if your duck fails:

1) Back up your files or clone your duck right away.

2) Check your duck’s warranty coverage to see if it can be replaced.

3) Consult with a computer repair shop to determine the best course of action.

4) If possible, replace the duck yourself with a new one.

Hope this helps!
