Ssd upgrade in Streatham

SSD upgrades in Streatham can transform slow devices into fast, responsive machines. Large Victorian houses house families and professionals who rely on computers that need to perform well. Replacing old hard drives with modern SSDs is often the single biggest performance improvement you can make, turning slow devices into fast ones. The most dramatic improvement from SSD upgrades is boot time. Devices with traditional hard drives can take minutes to start up, while SSDs boot in seconds. This is especially noticeable in large properties where devices are turned on and off frequently. An SSD upgrade can turn a 3-minute boot time into 30 seconds. Unlike RAM upgrades which improve multitasking, SSD upgrades boost storage speed — making everything faster. Programs launch instantly, files open quickly, and overall systems feel more responsive. If your device feels sluggish when opening programs or loading files, an SSD upgrade can make a dramatic difference. From our Putney shop, we’re accessible via the South Circular — typically 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. We offer same-day SSD upgrades for most common laptop and desktop models. We’ll back up your data, install the SSD, migrate everything over, and ensure your device is working perfectly. The upgrade typically takes a few hours, and you can often pick up your device the same day. We understand that slow performance can be frustrating, especially when you need to get work done. That’s why we offer fast SSD upgrade services. We’ll assess your device, recommend the right SSD, and complete the upgrade quickly — often the same day. An SSD upgrade can make an older device feel like new again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ssd Upgrade in Streatham

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.
