What should I do?

[Rodoux]

Hi, I have a situation and I would like to have advice for those who know more than me about pcs and laptops.

I bought a laptop hp-dk0011la (gtx 1650, 8 GB RAM, i5 9300H and 512 GB SSD) about 1 year and 10 months ago, but 2 days ago windows warned me about the SSD having it is reliability degraded (only 3% left) because of this I'm gonna send it to change the SSD, at first i thought on upgrade the SSD to 1 Tera and the RAM to 16 GB which will cost me $300, but now I'm worried that because the SSD failed before 2 years the new SSD could fail as well in a short period or even things such as the graphic card (which is binded to the full motherboard) or processor could fail early too, and as you know replacing the graphic card or full motherboard is basically buying a new laptop (and for the research I have been doing seems that there isn't a estimate on the life span in the graphic card or full motherboard such as SSD can let us know) so I'm afraid that I could upgrade my laptop just to have it failing soon too making those $300 useless, I have used the laptop for about 2590 hours.

What would you recommend? Should I just change the SSD for the same and not upgrade in order to not waste $300 or is it safe for me to upgrade the PC if full motherboard and graphic card should still be alive for a while? Is there a way to know the life span of the full motherboard and the graphic card? Am I better just changing the SSD and not upgrade it and later buy a steam deck?

Each and every internal component could drop dead 10 seconds after you read this.

Or last 10 or 20 years.

You have no way of knowing.

Two possibilities:

You worry about it.

You don't worry about it.

If you are like most people, you have limited control over what you worry about and are stuck with that situation.

Patient to doctor: "Doc, it bothers me when I think about this".

Doctor to patient: "Don't think about that".

[SOLVED] - How to extend the life span of my SSD?

I'm gonna replace the SSD of my laptop since it has only 3% life left, but I bought the laptop just bought my laptop about 1 year and 10 months ago. Researching I have found that there are things which decrease it is life span such as not defragment, not keeping the SSD full, not saving large...

Start or maintain good backups.
Use it until it dies.
Then, replace.


The answer will not change, no matter how many times you ask or rephrase this "problem".

Yes, now im askign about whatever i should upgrade it or just change it for a new one and upgrade ram or if im better not using that money since graphic card, full motherboard or processor could fail early and making me waste $300 for nothing.

im not sure about what is better.

Nor is anyone else.

Nor could they be.

The issues with the drive has nothing to do with the GPU or anything else.

Mmm after 2580 hours, the componentes of my laptop are more likely to live for a while or are they more likely to die?

 

[Lafong]

How long is "a while"?

They will definitely die.....................in "a while".

"more likely" is absolutely unknowable.

How long is a piece of string?

Atleast 2 years, but idk if it is more likely for them to die before that after 2580 hours.

Suppose you decide it is "more likely".

What if you are wrong?

Suppose you decide it is "less likely".

What if you are wrong?

Same answer in either case.
