Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about slow computer fix in Hawick, 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 Hawick 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 TD9 — High Street, Commercial Road, Bourtree Place — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD9 postcode area. That includes High Street, Commercial Road, Bourtree Place, the Teviot side, Sandbed, Wilton, 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 Hawick. 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.
Almost certainly, yes — and it's the single biggest performance upgrade for any computer made in the last 10 years. For Hawick customers running an old hard drive, swapping to an SSD makes the system feel like a different machine: boot time drops from 60+ seconds to under 15, app launches are nearly instant, and Windows feels responsive again. The drive cost is modest; cloning your current installation across is what we do for the labour.
Yes — that's the standard approach. We never wipe a drive without explicit consent, and most slow-PC jobs are non-destructive: cleaning out junk files, disabling startup bloat, updating drivers, optimising Windows settings, removing PUPs and old AV remnants. For Hawick customers, this combination usually delivers a 30–60% speed-up with all your files, photos, and apps untouched. If a clean install is the better answer we'll tell you and back up first.
Depends on the workload. For Hawick home users running browsers + office apps, 8GB is enough; 16GB is more comfortable. Light gaming or content creation: 16GB minimum, 32GB ideal. Video editing, 3D, or VMs: 32–64GB. Don't over-spec — beyond your real workload, more RAM doesn't make the PC faster, just gives you more headroom. We can check your current usage (Task Manager → Performance → Memory) and advise honestly.
