Ssd upgrade in Hammersmith

Hammersmith’s mix of professionals and commuters means a lot of laptops that do double duty — work during the day, personal use in the evening — and machines that have been running for four or five years on the original hard drive start to show it. Slow boots, stalling when opening files, and general sluggishness are almost always storage, not processor, and an SSD upgrade is the most cost-effective fix. The improvement is significant for anyone who uses Microsoft 365 or creative software heavily: Excel files open faster, Outlook stops lagging, and the machine stops sitting at the loading screen after waking from sleep. It extends the practical life of a laptop by several years without the cost of a replacement. Parking around Hammersmith Broadway is reliably difficult, so free collection from W6 is the sensible option. We’re 12–18 minutes from Hammersmith via the A4. We collect, clone the existing drive to the new SSD, test performance, and return the machine — typically on the same day. See our SSD upgrade service page for full details, or our Hammersmith area page. Contact us or call 020 7610 0500 to book.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ssd Upgrade in Hammersmith

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.

What Ssd upgrade issues are common in Hammersmith?

In Hammersmith, with its Victorian terraces and local character, we commonly see: • Screen damage on laptops carried through Hammersmith Broadway and the Underground interchange — high foot traffic and crowded commutes are hard on devices in bags • MacBook keyboard failures from dust and debris accumulation — open-plan offices and co-working spaces around King Street generate more airborne particulate than home environments • Slow business laptops in Hammersmith offices that have never been serviced — SMEs and media companies operating on ageing hardware without an IT refresh cycle Local tip: Busy professionals: evening appointments available — drop your device after work and collect it next morning
