Speed up a slow laptop with an SSD
Most “slow” laptops and PCs aren’t worn out — they still have a mechanical hard drive. Swapping it for a solid-state drive (SSD) typically cuts start-up from several minutes to under 30 seconds.
We copy everything across — Windows, programs, files and settings — so it comes back looking exactly the same, only much faster. Your old drive is returned to you or securely wiped, whichever you prefer.
When to bring it in
- Several minutes to start up
- Disk at 100% in Task Manager
- Clicking or grinding noises
- Programs freeze while opening
What we do
- Check the drive’s health and the laptop’s overall condition first
- Clone your existing system onto a new SSD
- Add memory where it will make a real difference
- Check Windows 11 compatibility, or set up a supported Linux system if your hardware can’t run Windows 11
How long: Usually 1–2 working days.
Prices
- 500 GB SSD with system moved across from £79
- 1 TB SSD with system moved across from £109
- Memory upgrade from £39 Depends on the model
- Windows 11 upgrade check and install from £49

Questions
My laptop can’t run Windows 11. Is it finished?
Not necessarily. Many of these machines run well on a supported Linux system for everyday web, email and documents. We can show you before you decide.
Will my programs still work?
Yes. We clone the whole drive, so programs, licences and settings move across unchanged.
