My Windows 10 laptop has started freezing for a few seconds and the drive makes a faint clicking sound. Is there something built into Windows that shows drive health, or do I need a separate program?

Swapping the old HDD in my desktop for an SSD and I don't want to reinstall Windows and all my programs. The SSD is bigger than the old drive. What do people use?

My G-Drive used to mount fine. Now the light comes on but it doesn't appear in Finder or on the desktop. Disk Utility sees something but greyed out. There are files on it I really need.

Uploaded a folder to Google Drive on my laptop, it's there on the website but my desktop with Drive for desktop doesn't show it. Signed into the same account on both. Is there a sync button somewhere?

Got a box of old family CDs to copy and my MacBook Air obviously has no disc slot. Is Apple's own external drive the one to get, and will it need an adapter on a USB-C only machine?

It's an HP 14s with a slow 1TB hard drive and I want to put an SSD in. Is it a 2.5 inch bay or M.2, and do I need to clone the old drive or just reinstall Windows?

Got a box of old family CDs to rip. My MacBook Pro only has USB-C ports. Do I need an Apple-specific drive or will any cheap USB one plus an adapter do?

Windows makes the connect sound but no drive letter appears. Tried two ports. I'm fine losing what's on it, I just want it usable again. Where do I format a drive that Explorer can't see?
