Hey, I understand the situation. Your friend's laptop is down due to a broken OS, and he wants to get Windows 10 back. He's already tried many installations but keeps seeing warnings about the hard drive failing. It seems like he needs a fresh setup. Let’s figure this out together. You might want to start with checking the hard drive health—there could be issues there that aren’t showing up in the OS error messages. Once the drive is healthy, you can proceed with reinstalling Windows 10. If you need guidance on the steps, just let me know!

Windows isn't installing properly and you're seeing many errors—possibly the drive is bad or not responding. You'll have to swap it out.

He actually relies on an HDD, which makes sense. It also saves a lot of storage space, making it ideal.

Ensure the SATA connection remains consistent; the drive you received was smaller and didn’t match a typical SATA port from a desktop power supply.
