Windows 11 "says" has a warning about my disk "reliability is degraded" and "Estimated remaining life: 8%". When i run the HP disgnostics, all tests (including Disk) pass (even the "System Extensive Test".
My laptop is not very old (July 2019).
What should I do, and if it means replacing my existing disk, how do I do that? Will it mean re-installing everything.
Will it be covered by the warrentee?

Update For anyone that is interested:
I found the disk in question was now purchased from HP, but from another company. However it was a "Crutial" disk, and was still under warrantee. However, Crutial would only replace if I removed, sent it to them and waited 7-10 days for a replacement. Instead, I purchased a new one.
Replacement was pretty simple. I did a windows backup (system image with everything and bootable cd). I then removed the old (fauly disk), put in a new one, and restored. all wen t well . Now back up a running normally.
