Common Problems We Fix

A laptop or PC feels slow

Long boot times and sluggish applications can come from a mechanical hard drive, limited memory, a full drive, or software problems. We diagnose the device first so the upgrade solves the cause rather than just adding a part.

Not enough RAM for your workload

Too little memory can make multitasking difficult, especially when several browser tabs or applications are open. We check the device limits and recommend a suitable memory upgrade only where the hardware supports it.

Mechanical hard drive replacement

An SSD can make starting the system and opening applications feel much faster than an older mechanical drive. We check compatibility and discuss data migration before replacing the storage.

Storage is nearly full

A nearly full drive can affect updates and use. We assess whether a larger drive or cleanup is sensible.

Desktop graphics and power needs

A desktop upgrade may involve a graphics card or power supply. We check compatibility first.

Our Repair Process

Step 1

Performance assessment

Bring in the laptop or desktop and tell us what feels slow or what you want to do with it. We check the existing hardware and identify the limiting part.

Step 2

Plan and quote

We explain compatible options and provide a written price before work. Diagnostics are free if you proceed; the diagnostic fee is £25 if you decline the quoted upgrade or repair.

Step 3

Install and migrate

After approval, we install the agreed part, migrate data where included, and configure the system. Do not rely on a single copy of important files before any storage change.

Step 4

Test the result

We check that the new hardware is recognised, the system starts correctly, and the original problem has improved. Approved work is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.

Frequently Asked Questions

SSD upgrades start from £79. The final price depends on the device, storage capacity, compatible drive, and whether data migration is required.

RAM upgrades start from £69. We check the device model and maximum supported memory before recommending an upgrade.

An SSD can make a noticeable difference when an older mechanical drive is the main limitation. We diagnose the laptop first and will tell you if another fault is responsible.

Data migration can be included when agreed in the quote, but you should keep a current backup before any storage work. We explain the migration plan before starting.

Many laptop graphics components are not upgradeable in the same way as desktop cards. We check the specific model and explain what is realistically possible.

It depends on the age, condition, compatibility, and total cost. We give an honest view if an upgrade is sensible or if replacement would be better value.
