With the Right Hardware Upgrade
The most common reason computers feel slow is outdated hardware — not a virus, not Windows, not age. A well-chosen computer hardware upgrade in London can make a machine bought five years ago feel close to new. We check what you have, tell you what will actually make a difference, and fit it the same day.
We carry common SSDs and RAM in stock for same-day fitting. For GPU upgrades and less common components, we quote and order from UK suppliers. All upgrades include a free compatibility check before we order anything — we will not fit something that will not work properly with your system.
What we upgrade
Computer Hardware Upgrade Types
From a quick SSD swap to a full system refresh — we do every hardware upgrade that matters for laptop and desktop computers.
SSD Upgrade
The single biggest speed improvement for most computers. An SSD makes Windows boot in under 15 seconds and apps open almost instantly.
RAM Upgrade
More memory means smoother multitasking — fewer slowdowns when you have many browser tabs, Office apps and Zoom open at once.
GPU Replacement & Upgrade
Better frame rates in games, smoother video editing playback, and faster AI tasks. We source and fit the right GPU for your system.
CPU Upgrade
More processing power for demanding workloads. We check motherboard compatibility before recommending a CPU upgrade.
Storage Expansion
Running out of space? We add a second drive — SSD or HDD — without touching your existing files.
Cooling Upgrade
A better cooler reduces noise and keeps temperatures lower, which protects your CPU and lets it run at full speed for longer.
Network Card
Wi-Fi 6 card for faster wireless, or a 2.5G Ethernet card for wired connections. A quick upgrade that makes a real difference.
Power Supply Upgrade
A quality PSU is essential when adding a GPU or other power-hungry components. We fit reliable units with enough headroom.
Full System Refresh
Multiple upgrades in one visit — SSD, RAM, GPU and cooling sorted together. Often the most cost-effective approach.
Why upgrade
SSD vs HDD — Real-World Performance
These are typical figures for a mid-range laptop before and after swapping a mechanical hard drive for an SSD.
| Metric | Old HDD | After SSD | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows boot time | 60–90 seconds | 8–15 seconds | 6× faster |
| App launch (e.g. Chrome) | 8–12 seconds | 1–2 seconds | 8× faster |
| File transfer speed | 80–160 MB/s | 500–3,500 MB/s | Up to 20× faster |
| Noise level | Audible clicking/spinning | Completely silent | Silent |
| Shock resistance | Mechanical — fragile | No moving parts | Far more reliable |
