What should i do to fix it. Or should I buy a new laptop or tablet because its old laptop.. Can you help me sir.

by

you could buy a new drive but the laptop being that old it will only last so long before you have to replace it.

@kavin 1903 @tech_ni but a new drive for this model should be relatively easy to obtain and you may get a couple more years out of it. Keeps it out of the landfill and keeps money in your pocket :-)

@oldturkey03 true but depends on what windows it will support limiting what can be done with it

@tech_ni you are right my friend. I always forget the technical requirements Windows demands for their updates. Thanks for reminding me on this.
