Nitro5 AN517-55 Model N22C need to replace my hard drive as it has begun to have reliability issues
I need to replace my hard drive as it has begun to have reliability issues. We found some bad sectors on in that checkdisk could not repair. As a result, my two attempts to create a bootable image of the drive have failed. I've backed-up the files but I don't what to do about the Windows 11 installation.
Any suggestions? I could not find a license for the installation.

Hi, January 2022 model, bad that the HDD would fail like that after only 2.5 years, but the same thing happened to my 2.5" HDD Seagate ST1000LM035-1RK172 1TB from 2020 bad sector in 2022 (Aspire5 A515-54G) that I replaced with a 2.5" Sata-3 Samsung 870 Evo-V-NAND 1TB, a lot faster than the "spinning" drive. I used an external USB3.0 Seagate Backup Plus drive 4TB and Windows7 Backup program (Image file creator) that you can still find in Windows10 and even in Windows11 24H2 Control Panel. Most reliable and easiest backup program I ever used and the VHD image format made by W7 Backup can be mounted in any Windows File Explorer version to browse backed-up folders and copy files. W7 Backup creates a Windows Recovery (flash) drive at the end that you then use to restore the backup to your new HDD/SSD, that same USB Recovery drive is used to repair your Windows version, start the laptop in Safe Mode if it won't boot anymore and uninstall failed updates (highly recommended). I don't recommend cloning an HDD with a bad sector or using other BU programs like Macrium Reflect as none of these recognize the original 3 Window GPT volumes only Windows7 backup does and my 500GB data restored perfectly including Windows11 22H2. To restore the backup with the USB boot flash drive see the link at the bottom.

The Nitro AN517-55 is a 2023 laptop and its storage specs are both Gen 4 x4 lane type M.2 SSD drives. The best and fastest and most reliable (whiteout any crashes or faults) M.2 SSD drive on the market today, as its also been tested by many sites with their M.2 benchmarking tests, is the Samsung 990 Pro 4.0 NVMe drive and that is what you should be using for this laptop that has a 12th Gen Intel cpu, as you can't go wrong. Good luck and hope this helps you out some more.
