Hi, we have quite a noisy hard drive in out Win 10 Dell PC. The machine is several years old but until recently has been doing just fine as a general purpose machine (I do photo edits on my MacBook Pro). The noise level varies during the day, but at its worst it is very very noticeable. I unplugged the Samsung USB drive to make sure it wasn't that.
So, it seems like it might be a good time to replace the (500 MB) drive, perhaps with a SSD?
I've been backing up the PC with Crashplan for Small Business onto the Samsung USB drive and to their cloud backup service. However, looking at that service, it seems like it's not suitable for using in a disk drive replacement; basically it just backs up the user areas.
Is this the sort of upgrade a not-very-techy person should be able to do? And if so, can you please point me to some guidance? Thanks...
