    Hi Tripper2,


    Welcome to SevenForums!

    Your System Specs don't include your HDD type/size, etc.

    Test Hard Drive for what?

    System/file errors?
    From Administrative CMD sfc /scannow

    Bad sectors, orphaned files, indices, etc.
    From Administrative CMD chkdsk /r


    Orphaned files, indices, etc.
    From Administrative CMD chkdsk /f

    Overall hard drive health?
