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.”

SSD upgrade: your questions answered

Will an SSD really make my computer faster?

Yes, dramatically. It is the single best upgrade for speed, cutting boot and load times from minutes to seconds on most older machines.

Will I lose my files and programs?

No. We clone your existing drive so Windows, your apps and your files all move across exactly as they were.

Can any computer take an SSD?

Almost all can. We check compatibility during our call-out and recommend the right drive for your machine.

Do you come to me?

Yes. Many problems are fixed on the spot; some repairs need the workshop.

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.
