Hi,

 

Yes, you need a new storage device.

 

You can get data, I would do this ASAP. Remove the drive. Connect the drive to a different PC as a data drive. Copy data from your USER folder.

 

You have a M.2 socket 3, key M expansion slot. Replace the slow HDD with a M.2 NVME drive, much faster.

 

Regards

Thank you so much for your rapid response.  I think what you are saying is that I need to replace the hard drive ? This is my first time posting here.  

 

Cheers,
