Tune-Ups & Upgrades

Slow machines revived with SSD and memory upgrades, cleanouts, and honest advice about what is worth upgrading.

The problem this solves

A computer that takes minutes to boot, fans that roar at idle, and storage that is always full. Many slow machines have years of life left after a targeted upgrade, and some do not; knowing which is the service.

Who it is for: Anyone deciding between reviving a machine and replacing it, and anyone whose computer is simply slower than it should be.

What the technician actually does

  • Benchmarks the machine and identifies the real bottleneck
  • Upgrades to SSD storage with your system and files migrated intact
  • Adds memory where the machine supports it
  • Cleans dust from cooling paths and repastes where temperatures demand it
  • Removes startup bloat and background software you never asked for

What to expect

  • A before-and-after boot and responsiveness comparison
  • A do-not-upgrade recommendation when the money is better put toward replacement

After you request a visit: We check your model's upgrade options before the visit so the technician can bring appropriate parts.

Before the visit

  • Know your login password
  • Note when the slowness happens: always, at boot, or in specific programs
