Why your computer is slow
Most “slow computer” problems come down to one of a few things:
- Old hard drive. Spinning hard drives wear out and slow down dramatically over time. Switching to an SSD is often the single biggest fix.
- Not enough RAM. Modern Windows and Chrome both need more memory than they used to. 4 GB is misery; 8–16 GB is comfortable.
- Startup junk. Dozens of little programs all racing to launch the moment you boot up.
- Malware. Quietly running something in the background that’s eating CPU.
What we’ll do
We’ll look at what’s actually going on — not just hit “clean my registry” and charge you. If a tune-up will fix it, we’ll do that. If you’d benefit much more from an SSD upgrade or more RAM, we’ll tell you what it costs before doing anything.
Honest opinion included
If your computer is genuinely too old to be worth fixing, we’ll say so and help you pick a reasonable replacement instead of charging you for work that won’t help.
