Frequently Asked Questions About Ssd Upgrade in Clapham
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.
