If your computer is otherwise in good shape but feels sluggish, a hardware upgrade is almost always better value than replacing it. Swapping a traditional spinning hard drive for a solid-state drive (SSD) is the single biggest improvement you can make — everything from start-up to opening programs becomes near-instant.

Adding memory (RAM) helps too, especially if you keep lots of browser tabs or apps open at once. We'll advise what your machine supports and what will actually make a difference, fit it, and migrate your data across so nothing is lost.

When an upgrade makes sense

The computer is slow but otherwise reliable
It still has an old mechanical hard drive (it "ticks" or whirrs)
It slows to a crawl with a few programs or tabs open
Start-up takes minutes
You're not ready to spend on a whole new machine
Storage is full and you need more space

What's included

  • SSD fitted and your existing Windows/macOS, files and programs cloned across
  • Memory (RAM) upgrades — supply and fit

Hardware Upgrade (RAM & SSD) — FAQs

Will an SSD really make that much difference?

Yes — it's the most dramatic upgrade there is. Boot times typically drop from minutes to seconds and the whole machine feels new. If your computer still has a spinning hard drive, this is the upgrade to make.

Will I lose my files and have to set everything up again?

No. We clone your existing system onto the new drive, so Windows/macOS, your files, programs and settings all come across exactly as they were. You switch on and carry on.

How much does an SSD upgrade cost?

Labour starts from £49 plus the cost of the drive, which depends on the capacity you want. We confirm the full price before starting — no surprises.

Can you add more memory (RAM) as well?

Yes, where your machine supports it. We'll check what's installed and what the maximum is, then supply and fit the right memory. More RAM helps most if you run lots of apps or tabs at once.

How long does a hardware upgrade take?

Most SSD and RAM upgrades are completed the same day at our Tiverton workshop, including cloning your data across.
