Slow Computer or Laptop? Let's Find Out Why
A slow computer has a cause, and 'it's just old' isn't always it. A failing hard drive, too many start-up programs, malware, overheating, a full disk or a stuck Windows update can all make a capable machine crawl.
We measure first, then fix the actual bottleneck. Sometimes that's a clean-up; sometimes it's an inexpensive SSD; occasionally it's honest advice that a replacement is due.

Upgrade if it's worth it
If an SSD or more RAM is the real fix, we'll explain the difference it should make before you decide.
What to expect
- Clean-ups help most when the hardware is healthy.
- We never remove programs you rely on without asking.
- Very old processors have limits no tune-up can overcome.
Frequently asked questions
Will a tune-up delete my files?
No. We work around your files and ask before removing any program.
Is it worth upgrading an old laptop?
If it has a hard drive and a reasonably modern processor, an SSD upgrade is often excellent value.
Can this be done remotely?
Software clean-ups often can. Hardware upgrades need a visit.
