Hello i own a ASUS X555LA

Has a 5th Gen I5 2.2Ghz, 8GB Ram DDR3 I think, Toshiba HDD, HD Graphics 5500 And is running Windows 10 Pro.

It has a fresh install and is running slow, Did have Windows 7 even know it was not relevant to the laptop according to ASUS Despite all drivers from their maker working.

It had a nasty virus on 7 so i put it back to it's original OS And i wanted to see how my HDD Was going on a program called CrystaldiskInfo and it is giving the HDD A yellow warning (Caution).
So i wondered if the Hard drive is the issue? I need suggestions to see if it is worth swapping the HDD For my other Toshiba HDD (Same capacity but is 1 year older and has good health).

There's some info about the drive from the program.
It's the health status worrying me.

I would like some suggestions whether it is worth putting the spare Good Toshiba Drive in.

Please give some suggestions on anything to do with the machine whether it is normal or not.

seems your HDD is dying and who knows when it will fail, looks like a hard disk failure instead of a software, lets see if this can be repaired:
do a scan of your hdd, go to your drive properties and select tools - error checking

Not so much on CPU At normal task (20-50%) But disk is on red and sometimes shows 100& currently at this second it is showing 3% then sometimes 98%. I used to have the issue with my old RM Mobile One T12ER Rugged Tough laptop (Core2Duo 2.49ghz) with 4gb ram and a WD Scorpio 160gb drive.
