But the rest of the thread showed that actually the HD was fine, and
that when I ran the Dell Diagnostic Tests, it showed that the CPU fan
was not working as expected.

I put the PC aside for a while, but then took it to bits and found that
the reason the fan was not working was that it had been disconnected,
presumably deliberately, because when I reconnected it, it was very
noisy. I swapped it for another slightly quieter one, and now the
laptop is working normally again.

I bought 3 x Samsung EVO SSDs for that and my other two best PCs, and am
very pleased with the result, so thank you to those who recommended them.
