The hard drive is an indispensable part of our computer, because it is where all our data is stored. As it is an electronic or electromechanical device (depending on whether it is an SSD or a traditional ATA / SATA disk), its components are subject to wear and tear and information can be corrupted.
If we have symptom on our computer than when performing a specific action or opening a file computer freezes or unexpected error occurs, it is time to perform a test and check hard drive errors.
If on any occasion we notice that the performance of the computer decreases significantly or a program hangs when we try to access certain files, the problem may be due to hard drive errors.
We can correct them if we use the tool Scandisk which includes the Windows 10 operating system itself. With the analysis we can detect and correct faults that exist and guarantee the stability of the information in the unit. The tool can be used for local and external drives, such as pen drives or memory cards.
As a general recommendation, it is advisable to close all programs before performing a disk scan.

- Next, we will select This team in the left panel.
- We will click with the right button on the unity we long for We carry out the analysis and choose the option Properties.
- So in the Tools tab, we will choose the option Check.
- En versiones anteriores a Windows, frecuentemente se le preguntaba al Username si deseaba escanear el sistema y corregir errores o básicamente realizar una verificación. En Windows 10 this does not happen and we will only have the option to Analyze. Also, as a novelty in Windows 10, the unit where the system is installed can be verified without having to schedule its verification in the next boot, and those others the disks to be analyzed do not require disassembly.
- At the end of the analysis a summary will be shown of the same and, if no error has been found, we will be notified.
As you can see, keeping your disks and removable drives error-free is now easier than ever.
