Just as a precaution, have you checked with another utility aside from windows settings page?
Personally I wouldn’t just go off Windows estimated life, I would confirm with an actual utility.
Edit: senior moment, missed hd sentinel

As advised I installed and ran HD Sentinel which says the same thing. I think both report the same thing though - the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic from the drive itself?
PBTech are pretty good with warranties most of the time. They replaced an SSD I had that failed with no issues, when they provided PC parts and assembled it when it wasn't working right they fixed it. The only time we've had problems is when they are basically a proxy to a firm like Samsung who were quite difficult to deal with when we had a Samsung Watch regularly failing. It took two or three times of sending it to Samsung to get it replaced, even when we had a video of the failure happening - "could not reproduce" they said. But that was Samsung, PBTech are pretty good.
OK, completed a Macrium Reflect full backup.... waiting to hear back from a human at PBT now.
