Migration / OS Update

Providing a helping hand in making the switch to a new PC or Operating System
upgrade seem seamless.

Does your hard drive spend a lot of time crunching away?

Are you using a lot of large files?

Are you using resource extensive applications like Adobe Premiere?

Is the speed of your hard drive important to you?

 

Then, consider replacing your conventional hard drive with a Solid State Drive (SSD).

Your computer’s RAM operates at far greater speed than your computer’s hard drive. The speed at which your hard drive functions is essentially the biggest bottleneck in the overall speed performance of your computer i.e. you computer is only as quick as its slowest device. Numerous tests have demonstrated that certain computers boot up and operate twice as as quick when their conventional hard drives are replaced with sold state drives. Bring your computer to our workshop and we’ll replace your hard with a SSD and migrate your OS and all files to your new drive.
