Hi, not sure if this section is correct, could not find a section for my problem which is hard drive and software combined.
I have a 2017 HP 17 Envy, recently the computer crashed after upgrading to Win 11 and I have tried various ways to get it to work, I got " Critical Process Died" and went through several options to recover, each time a different problem occurred in CMD. I have now decided to get a SSD and start again, my question is would I have to buy Windows again? Also the original Hard Drive from the HP Envy is a 1 TB in size but when I connect it through File Explorer on another laptop it only shows 458gb, 200 gb of this is free, its only showing Data that I have created, would this hard drive not have the Windows files on it or is that stored elsewhere? I would welcome any help.
