The check first
Some slow machines need an upgrade, and some just need a clean-up. The health check and tune-up is £45 on the price list, and it is said plainly if that is all it needs.

What's included
What an upgrade includes
The SSD upgrade is from £165 on the price list, with your existing system copied onto the new drive. Memory, graphics cards and other parts depend on the machine, so they are contact for a quote. Nothing is ordered until you have agreed the price.
SSD upgrade
The old hard drive is swapped for a solid-state drive and everything is copied across, so it starts and opens programs much faster. From £165.
Memory and other parts
More RAM, a bigger drive, a new graphics card or power supply. These depend on the machine and are contact for a quote.
Worth it or not
If the computer is too old for an upgrade to be good value, you are told before any part is bought. There is a separate page on repairing or replacing a laptop.
Common problems
When people book this
Takes minutes to start
A spinning hard drive is the usual cause. An SSD is the single biggest speed-up for an older PC or laptop.
Freezes with a few tabs open
Often not enough memory. Whether more RAM can be fitted depends on the model, and that is checked first.
Out of space
A larger drive, with everything moved across, instead of deleting photos to make room.
Games stutter
Parts advice for a gaming PC, and fitting of the parts you choose. Contact for a quote.
