Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about slow computer fix in Galashiels, Scottish Borders.
Every computer job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your computer. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most slow computer fix jobs in Galashiels are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in TD1 — High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD1 postcode area. That includes High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street, the Town Centre, Tweedbank border, the Station side, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We work with every major brand and configuration in Galashiels. Whether your computer is consumer, business-grade, or a custom build, send us the model details and we'll let you know what's involved.
Yes — by a large margin. Replacing a mechanical hard drive with an SSD is the upgrade that makes the biggest difference to perceived speed on most slow Galashiels laptops. Boot times go from over a minute to under 15 seconds; programs that took 10 seconds to open take 1; Windows updates that used to take an hour run in 10 minutes. We clone your existing setup over so you don't lose anything.
Yes — and we always assume that's the goal unless you tell us otherwise. Standard tune-up for Galashiels customers: full junk-file clean, startup program audit, driver updates, browser cleanup, and removal of bundled bloatware. If the slowness is hardware-bound (failing HDD, low RAM) we recommend the upgrade rather than masking the issue. Either way, your files, photos, and email stay where they are.
It depends on what you do. For most Galashiels home users — email, browsing, Office, streaming — 8GB works, 16GB is comfortable headroom. Gaming or photo editing: 16GB minimum. Video editing, 3D rendering, virtual machines, or running 50+ browser tabs: 32GB+. We can check your real-world memory pressure (Task Manager's Memory tab tells the truth) and give you a no-upsell recommendation.
