I bought a computer with Windows 8.1 on a 1TB HDD. I put in an SSD and transferred Windows onto it with Microsoft Office. The HDD, being used for data storage, then became unreliable within a few weeks. There was also a lot of fan noise. In order to get the HDD repaired under warranty, I replaced it in the computer as it was on purchase before sending to repair. The repair under warranty resulted in replacement of the broken HDD with a new HDD containing a new copy of Windows 8.1. The machine is now working fine again, and Microsoft Office reinstalled. I have not replaced the SSD because I want to see if the fan noise has gone away. I can still hear more noise than I would've liked.
The question is - whether the SSD, which still has the OS on it, and Microsoft Office 2013, can be replaced in the machine as before if the fan noise is resolved, and whether I can keep the duplicate OS and Office on the HDD (together with data storage) as a back up to return to if things go wrong again.
Excuse me if posting in the wrong forum - and glad to be re-directed or for any advice. Thanks in advance.
