Solved SSD Health/Errors?

I took my lap to a local pc shop asking to remove the bloat and trial software and install W11nd Off only.

Firstly he did, but installed 32 bit Off and divided the partition into approx. 2 parts.

Had to retake asking to install the 64bit which he did.

I have a feeling this time he messed up cause the Dell management software didn't install on auto update and am having issue and cannot download Macrium Reflect.

What do you experts recommend.....

run sfc/scan_now?
Check disk?

Thanks.

W11 is/ was compatible with 32 bit MS off but I asked for a 64 bit.....the reason for doing another clean install of W11 and Off 64 bit and from than on I feel my laps drive has errors.....

Another reason to learn doing it myself.

My WEI net score is 8.1....lowest for desktop graphics goes upto 9.8

I wonder where he got a copy of Win11 in a 32bit configuration to start with.

Hi,
Post a disk management screen shot or free mintool

Might be best to restore from a dell recovery partition so all drivers can be recovered.

Dell Partition contained the service tag #, and some dell utilities.
After checking can I merge all partitions, while clean installing W11?
Thanks.

Unless you want to keep any of the partitions, the usual way to do a clean install is to delete all existing partitions then install in the unallocated space created. That is covered in Step 11 of this tutorial. You should read all of his tutorial before you start a clean install, so that you'll know what to expect.

The Service tag is also burned into the bios firmware, as well as being on a label on the bottom of the laptop. The bios of a Dell Inspiron 5510 also contains Dell diagnostic utilities.

The SupportAssist diagnostics (previously known as ePSA diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware. The SupportAssist diagnostics is embedded in the BIOS...
