PC & Laptop Hardware Upgrades

A computer upgrade can bring a new lease of life into your PC, extending its existence and saving you money in the long run. We supply and install every component on the market.

Computer Memory Upgrade

The single most important upgrade for any system is memory. By installing more memory into your computer you will see a noticeable increase in speed and a more fluid user experience. Memory is cheap at the moment so we recommend taking advantage of a low-cost performance boost.

Processor & Hard Drive Upgrade

We can upgrade your hard drive and transfer all your files in the process. Depending on the age of your motherboard your processor can be upgraded which will result in increased speed of your applications for instance, faster video encoding.

Graphics Card upgrades

Want to play the latest games with all the bells and whistles? Or maybe you want to hook your computer up to your HDTV? A new graphics card will enable you to do both and more depending on your budget of course.

Everything can be upgraded on a PC so before you bin the old work horse see if we can throw it a lifeline. You would be surprised how a small change can boost the performance of a slow PC.

Laptop Hardware Upgrades

Upgrading a laptop is not as straight forward as upgrading a PC but it is possible. The memory and hard drive is easy enough on most laptops but the processor and graphics card are inaccessible without taking the laptop apart. Not all laptops can be upgraded with a new GFX card either but there are some that can. If this is something you would like to know more about get in touch and we can advise on options available to you.

Windows Upgrade or Downgrade

We always recommended a clean install of Windows even though Microsoft say you can upgrade Windows without formatting your hard drive. We believe it is safer and cleaner by erasing the hard drive first to eradicate the problems associated with installing the software over the old version.

Depending on your preference we can upgrade or downgrade Windows XP, Vista plus Windows 7. We would first backup all your files before formatting the hard drive. Once a clean install has been completed we would make some small tweaks to the operating system to remove unnecessary memory hogging services, download and install the latest drivers for the hardware then restore your backed up files.

We also install our selection of free software that will help keep your computer safe and free from junk.
