Upgrade work available

Many slow computers still have useful life left if the right parts are fitted. The machine is checked first so money is spent on upgrades that actually help, with drive health, motherboard compatibility, power supply capacity and Windows support considered before ordering parts.

Common upgrades

  • SSD upgrades for slow startup and poor performance.
  • RAM upgrades for heavier browsing, office work and multitasking.
  • Graphics card upgrades for suitable desktop PCs.
  • Windows 11 installs and upgrades, including suitable unsupported hardware.
  • Mac SSD and RAM upgrades where the model allows it.

Before fitting parts

The system is checked for drive health, age, compatibility and whether the upgrade is worth the cost. Desktop graphics upgrades may also need power supply and case clearance checks. If the computer is too old or unreliable, you will be told plainly.

Price and parts

Upgrade prices depend on the part, setup time and whether data needs cloning or transferring. SSD and RAM work is usually quicker than graphics card changes or Windows 11 migration. Parts availability can affect turnaround, especially for older Macs and unusual desktops.

Data and setup

Existing data can usually be moved across during an SSD upgrade, and the machine can be returned with Windows, updates and everyday software ready to use.

Upgrade FAQ

Common questions.

Can an SSD upgrade make an old PC faster?

Yes. Replacing a mechanical hard drive with an SSD is often the best upgrade for slow startup and poor general performance.

Can you upgrade unsupported PCs to Windows 11?

Yes, where it makes sense. Some PCs can run Windows 11 even when Microsoft does not officially support the hardware, but suitability is checked first.

Do you upgrade Macs as well as Windows PCs?

Yes. Some MacBook, iMac and Mac mini models can be upgraded, depending on model, age and parts availability.
