Hi, 

My PC has two hard drives, one SSD and one HHD. Now I switch on the computer and shows that my SSD has an imminent failure. But now I can still get into windows. 

 

I am wondering whether I should continue using my computer now until the SSD is officially dead? Otherwise, if I remove the SSD, can I keep using the PC without a problem?

 

Thank you.

Hello

 

If Windows 10 is installed in the SSD, if I were you I would buy a new one and do a copy of the whole disk , then start to use the new one.

 

if in the SSD you have data only, then do a full backup of your data , before to lose it.

 

You can use your PC without SSD if the OS is on the HDD.

 

bye
