SSD upgrade in Hitchin: what an SSD fixes
If your computer feels slow, a hard drive is usually the bottleneck. Here is what an SSD improves machines and how we do it.
| Problem | Cause | How an SSD Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Slow to start up | Old spinning hard drive | Boots in seconds not minutes |
| Programs take ages to open | Slow drive read speeds | Apps launch almost instantly |
| Freezes when multitasking | Drive cannot keep up | Smooth, responsive performance |
| Long file transfers | Mechanical drive limits | Much faster copying and saving |
| General sluggishness | Ageing storage | Feels like a brand new machine |

Try this before you call
- Check how full your current drive is, as this affects speed
- Back up anything important before any upgrade
- Note whether your machine feels slow from cold or all the time
- Close background programs to see if it helps temporarily
- Tell us your make and model so we bring the right SSD (solid-state drive, a fast drive with no moving parts)
If your computer is slow from the moment it starts, the drive is almost always the cause. Microsoft offers performance tips at support.microsoft.com/windows, and we handle the rest for you.
“People are amazed at the difference an SSD makes. The same computer that felt ready for the bin suddenly boots in seconds and flies through everything.”

Why SSD upgrade is worth doing right
SSD upgrade: The biggest bang for your buck
No other single upgrade transforms an older computer like an SSD. It is faster than adding memory or a new processor for everyday use.
Your files come across too
We clone your existing drive so Windows, your programs and your files all move over exactly as they were, with nothing lost.
It extends the life of your machine
Rather than buying a new computer, an SSD can give your current one several more years of fast, reliable service.
