Just stay aware of the aging battery. It is almost 3 yrs old and sometimes capacity starts falling faster as it ages. Run the F2 Diagnostics periodically to check on it. I have even seen them suddenly die one day after giving couple hours run time the day before.
Manaul says your battery is part number 807957-001 If/when you decide to order one:
Long DST: Fail means the hard drive is failing and will have to be replaced.
I use and recommend Western Digital drives:

If you took the free upgrade to Windows 10- you have a digital license stored on microsoft servers and can reinstall it on a new hard drive.
Microsoft provides the free Media Creation Tool to download files and create a Windows 10 usb flash drive.Advantage is you will have latest updated version of Windows 10. At least 8gb flash drive required:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Select Download tool now, and select Run.
If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit ) for Windows 10.
The Guide here shows the steps.Pay attention to Step 5 since you will be using another pc:

-------------------------------
When the flash drive is prepared insert it in a usb port. Power on the laptop and immediately start tapping Esc key. From the menu tap F9 key and use the arrow keys to move to and select usb. Tap Enter key.
When installing if it asks at any point for a key just choose "I don't have a key". It will continue and actvate once you are online.
Is your new account an Administrator account?
Have you tried simply leaving the Admin password blank when installing programs?
Try the 2nd option here to reset after reboot:
Sorry but there is no way to replace a hard drive without having physical access to a machine. Perhaps you could take it to a local pc repair shop if you don't feel that you can do it.
Mobile hard drive is for a laptop. Mobile as opposed to a desktop PC which isn't mobile. A laptop uses 2.5" Mobile hard drive and a desktop PC uses 3.5 desktop hard drive.
Hello There!
I am currently operating on a HP Probook 4540s Windows 7 and realized that my router does not support 5g wifi. Is there any way I could make it support 5g Wifi?? Maybe buy some sort of add-on or download software?
Thank, Ivy

Are you talking about wireless router or computer ?
(a) Router: No, no add on, you have to buy new router. What is it ?
(b) Computer: No, you have to replace wireless card (only if applicable).

Hiya,
I'm having an odd issue where I constantly get shown updates within the Windows 10 Update section for "Intel Corporation". If I chose to install them, it appears to download and install the updates but then the next time I do a check for updates, they're back again asking to be installed.
I have done reboots etc. and they still show up and never stay gone.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix?
Below is a screenshot of what I see.
Hi
I will attempt to supplement the excellent answer given by CherylG...
You have a HP Pavilion g6-2227tu Notebook PC which is nearly 6 years old and the PC has had a "Hard Disk 1 Full Test Failure" and needs a new Hard Drive. I would also change the CMOS/RTC battery when changing the HDD.
These Guides/Manuals may help you to understand the scope of the work entailed...
Page 45 of the Service Guide (500 GB, 7200 rpm ), just as CherylG posted.
If in doubt please ask.
