Make the computer you own feel new again

Device Upgrades

Targeted hardware and OS upgrades that fix the actual bottleneck in a slow computer, usually for a fraction of replacement cost.

Open a Ticket

A computer that feels slow is rarely worn out. Most of the time one specific component is holding everything else back, and replacing that one part is far cheaper than replacing the machine. I diagnose which part it is before recommending anything, so you are not paying for upgrades that will not change how the machine feels.

What is included

  • Diagnosis of the real bottleneck: storage, memory, thermals, or the OS itself
  • SSD and NVMe upgrades, including cloning your existing install so nothing is lost
  • Memory (RAM) capacity and speed upgrades
  • Graphics card, power supply, and cooling upgrades
  • Operating system upgrades and clean reinstalls
  • Post-upgrade verification that drivers, boot order, and firmware are correct

This is probably what you need if…

  • A laptop or desktop that takes minutes to boot or open programs
  • A machine that runs out of disk space or memory during normal work
  • Hardware that still suits your needs but struggles with newer software
  • Deciding whether upgrading or replacing is the better spend

Common questions

Will I lose my files or have to reinstall everything?

No. For storage upgrades I clone the existing drive so your programs, settings, and files come across exactly as they were. If a clean install is genuinely the better option, I will tell you why first and back up your data before starting.

How do I know an upgrade is worth it?

I check the machine before quoting parts. If the hardware is too old for the upgrade to make a real difference, I will say so and point you toward a replacement instead.

Can I supply my own parts?

Yes. I am happy to install parts you have already bought, or to source them for you if you would rather not pick them out.
