Power up your PC

Is your computer getting old and struggling to keep up with you? Is it running too slow? Running out of Hard Drive space? Need more memory? Running an old version of Microsoft Windows? What to go wireless or maybe games and DVD’s are running slow and jumpy?

Many people will just go out and buy a new computer not realising that many computer components can be upgraded to give your computer a whole new lease of life. In a lot of instances this works out more cost effective than spending hundreds of pounds on a new computer.

Upgrade Options Include:-

Memory Installation – Think of computer memory as your office desk the more memory (desk space) you have the more you can have open/on it without having to access the hard drive (office filing cabinet) which means your computer (you) can work faster.

USB / Firewire Installation – Running out of USB or Firewire ports on your computer, no problem. We will install a new USB or Firewire card in your computer which will give you additional ports. 

Hard Drive Replacement – A computer’s hard drive is like your office filing cabinet, when it starts getting full it can be hard to get files in and to organise them. If you computer’s hard drive is getting full this is exactly what happens which in turn reduces your computers performance and causes the hard drive to become very disorganised. We can replace your current hard drive for a much larger one and transfer your computers data and settings.

2nd Hard Drive Installation – Installation and setup of a second hard drive, increasing the storage on your computer just like installing new filing cabinets in your office gives you more space to store and organise files.

Wireless Networking – Do you have a new wireless router for internet access, but you still have to plug a wire into it from your computer because your computer is not wireless? We can install and setup a wireless card in your computer to get rid of that wire and to enable you to use your computer anywhere in your house (distance from the router may vary depending on the router and environmental factors)

Microsoft Windows Upgrade – When you originally bought your computer it most probably came with the most recent version of Microsoft Windows, because new versions of Microsoft Windows take advantage of latest technology you may well find your present computer can’t be upgraded, with a quick test ...... you can find out if an upgrade is possible. If your computer can be upgraded we can then install and setup your new operating system ensuring everything including your printer is working fine.

Graphics Card Upgrade – All the images you see on your monitor are managed by your graphics card and the quality of your card determines on how well your games or DVD’s will play. The latest games need the latest graphics card to play at their full potential. If your games are running slow and your DVD’s don’t play smoothly then it may be that your graphics card needs to be upgraded. We will advise you on your options, then install and setup your new card.

PC Tune up & Optimisation - Just like a car the wear and tear of constant use can affect the performance of a computer making it become slower and more prone to problems and just like a car it is advisable to give your computer a service each year.

CD / DVD / Blu-ray Drive Installation – Only have a CD drive but want to play DVD’s, or a DVD reader but you want to be able to store data to DVD’s, or how about upgrading your CD or DVD drive to Blu-ray. Whatever your requirements we can install and setup the best solution for your circumstances.

Whatever your needs, give us a call and we will happily talk you though the options. 

Some upgrades are dependent on your present computers hardware.
