There are many reasons why a computer can begin running more slowly than you would like, and one of the frequently encountered reasons is either an outdated hard drive or lack of memory. When confronted with this problem, people often assume they will need to buy a new desktop PC, but that isn’t always the case. If your desktop computer can receive an upgrade to the hard drive or has space for more memory, you may be able to get improved performance without the cost and inconvenience of swapping out your old PC for a new one. Firstly, our technicians in Fibre IT will assess your individual data storage requirements, which will vary from user to user, and are dependent on how you use your PC. Then, having established your needs and assessed the capabilities of the PC, they will make recommendations which could include inserting extra memory or swapping out a mechanical hard drive for a faster solid-state drive. Next, the upgrade will involve carefully opening up the computer (under clean static-free conditions) and then adding or replacing the components. After installation, the technician will ensure all updates and drivers are in place and then thoroughly test the whole system before handing you back your upgraded desktop PC.
