Would having my Hard Drive replaced be expensive?

    If your laptop's hard drive capacity is full but it's still working, then do not buy any new hdd. If you can still use it, then why buy a new one?

    Just back up all your important files like images, videos, docs, etc.

    Reinstall the whole operating system, then you can install new games to it.

    Warning: All files, programs, everything will be deleted.

    After reinstalling the whole OS, make sure that you install the drivers for your computer. If you want to automate the updating mechanism of your drivers, then install RadarSync. Add an anti-virus and all other important programs that you want to run in your computer.

    I hope this helps!

    well if it went out, you can't even get an OS to run, so yes obviously you cannot install games...

    hard drives are as cheap as 15$
