Questions & Answers
How long does a typical upgrade take?
A standard SSD/RAM upgrade is often completed the same day; more complex builds usually within 24–48 hours.
Will I lose my files during the upgrade?
No. We clone or migrate your data so everything—including programs, photos and settings—remains exactly where you left it.
How much do upgrades cost compared with buying a new computer?
Most performance‑boosting upgrades cost 20–40 % of a new, equivalent‑spec machine, saving you money and reducing e‑waste.
Can you carry out the upgrade at my home or office?
Absolutely. We offer on‑site service across the borough and remote software upgrades where applicable.
Do you work on Apple Macs as well as Windows PCs?
Yes. We upgrade iMacs, MacBooks and Mac mini systems with SSDs, RAM and clean macOS installs.
What warranty do you provide on parts and labour?
All components carry the manufacturer’s UK warranty (typically 2–5 years) and our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.

Signs Your Computer Is Due for an Upgrade
Is your PC starting to feel its age? Look out for these tell‑tale symptoms:
- Slow start‑ups or long loading screens even after basic maintenance.
- Unresponsive programs when multitasking or opening large files.
- Loud fans and high temperatures during everyday tasks.
- Incompatible software alerts because your CPU or OS is out‑of‑date.
- Frequent crashes or blue screens under moderate workloads.
- Lag in modern games or creative apps despite lowering settings. If you’re ticking two or more of these boxes, an upgrade can deliver a dramatic speed boost without the cost of a new machine.
