Ssd upgrade in Brixton

Brixton’s Victorian terraces and period conversions are home to a mix of residents and small business owners who rely on laptops daily, and machines that have been running for five or six years often hit the same problem: the hardware is fine, but the original spinning hard drive makes everything feel slow. Boot times stretch past two minutes, applications stall on launch, and file operations pause noticeably. An SSD upgrade fixes all of it. Local traders and freelancers near Brixton Market also come to us when a business laptop has become a daily frustration. Replacing the drive and cloning existing data takes a few hours, and the machine returns faster and with no data loss — considerably cheaper than new hardware. We’re 15–25 minutes from Brixton and offer free collection from SW2 and SW9. We back up all data first, clone the existing drive to the SSD, test boot and application performance, and return the device the same day for most jobs. See our SSD upgrade service page for full details, or our Brixton area page. Contact us or call 020 7610 0500 to book.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ssd Upgrade in Brixton

How much faster will my computer be?

Dramatically faster. Boot times typically drop from 2-3 minutes to 15-30 seconds. Programs open almost instantly. Overall system responsiveness improves massively. It's the single biggest performance upgrade you can make.

Will I lose any files or programs?

No. We clone your entire drive, so everything transfers exactly as it was - Windows, programs, files, settings, even your desktop wallpaper. You won't need to reinstall anything.

What size SSD do I need?

We recommend getting at least as much space as you're currently using, plus room to grow. 500GB suits most users. Power users or those with large media libraries may want 1TB or 2TB.

Can you upgrade a MacBook to SSD?

Most older MacBooks (pre-2016) can be upgraded. Newer MacBooks have soldered storage that can't be replaced. We'll check your specific model and advise on options.

Is it worth upgrading an old computer?

Often yes - an SSD can make a 5-10 year old computer feel new again. Combined with a RAM upgrade if needed, it's much cheaper than buying new. We'll give honest advice on whether it makes sense for your machine.

What happens to my old hard drive?

We give it back to you as a backup. You can keep it safe in case you ever need old files, or we can securely wipe and dispose of it for you.
