Failing SSD with OS

[Ryarwood99]

So my SSD fails sometimes during bootup (well I'm assuming considering that's the drive that I installed windows on and windows startup diagnostic whatever says 1 root cause on drive 0). I save most of my stuff on my TB HDD and it has all the program files on it also, can I move the entire OS over to that HDD (before my SSD ultimately fails) so I can boot off of that without having to delete everything and start fresh?

Dont think so you would have to use a program. You cant copy everything to another hdd and expect it to boot or work. It wont

What brand/model is the ssd? Is the firmware on it up to date?? Since buggy / out of date firmware can cause these kind of things to happen

I actually remembered I have an external hard drive, I'll put all the stuff on the HDD on there then install Windows onto the HDD and move everything back. Will that work?

The only thing you can put on the external are documents / contacts. You'll have to reinstall windows and programs
