Today I’m going to show you a few methods on how to check hard drive health in Windows 10. The first 2 methods are features that are available in all installations of Windows 10 while the last 2 are software applications. The first one is very easy and probably a good place to start when you have basic hard drive issues.

If you do have unresolved errors, you need to backup your important files as soon as possible as this indicates that your hard drive might fail in the near future.

For the next method, I’m going to show you how you can see the status of all your hard drives at once.

Search in Windows for Computer Management. Then click on Disk Management.

In this window, you get an overview of all drives and their current health status.

There are of course a lot of tools to perform more advanced tasks or better troubleshooting. These are software apps like HD Sentinel or HDDScan. They might be worth checking out if you are worried about your hard drive health checks or when you are experiencing problems.

Next, I’m going to show you a short glance at HDDScan.

HDDScan has a very good health test that you can run on your hard drives. These tests are very thorough so they do take some time.
