We work with every major brand and configuration in Newington. 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 Newington 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 Newington 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 Newington 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.
