Why Your Computer Is Slow
These are the culprits we see every single week.
Old Mechanical Hard Drive
The number one cause. Hard drives with spinning disks wear out and get slower over years. Swapping to an SSD is like going from a bicycle to a sports car. This is the fix that makes the biggest difference.
Too Much at Startup
Skype, Spotify, Dropbox, antivirus, Steam, Teams — all launching the moment you log in. Each one eats RAM and CPU. We trim the fat so your computer starts up clean and fast.
Hidden Malware
You don't have to click anything dodgy to pick up malware. It runs in the background, eating resources, slowing everything down. We scan deep and remove every trace, then install proper protection.
Not Enough RAM
4GB of RAM doesn't cut it anymore. Chrome alone can eat 2GB with a few tabs open. We'll check what you've got and upgrade it if needed — it's a 15-minute job that makes a real difference.
How We Speed Up Your Computer
No guesswork. We diagnose first, then fix what's actually wrong.

Yes. When we upgrade to an SSD we clone your existing drive so everything looks exactly the same when you get it back, just faster. For virus removal and tune-ups, your files stay put. We always back up your data before any major work.
Usually yes. A £60-100 SSD and RAM upgrade can extend its life by another 3-4 years. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether it's worth investing in or if you'd be better off putting the money toward something newer.
