Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about slow computer fix in Peebles, 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 Peebles 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 EH45 — High Street, Eastgate, Northgate — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH45 postcode area. That includes High Street, Eastgate, Northgate, the Tweed side, Old Town, March Street, 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 Peebles. 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 — it's the single most cost-effective upgrade for any pre-2017 computer. SSDs are 5–10× faster than mechanical drives for random access, which is what matters for everyday Windows responsiveness. For Peebles customers running a HDD, the upgrade transforms the machine — boot, app launch, file browsing all feel instant. We clone the existing Windows install to the SSD, so nothing's lost.
Yes — software cleanup is a non-destructive job and that's how we do it for most Peebles customers. We disable unnecessary startup programs, clean temp files, update outdated drivers, and remove any malware or PUPs eating CPU in the background. None of this touches your documents, photos, or installed apps. If we recommend a Windows reinstall (rare but sometimes the right call), we'll always back up data first.
It depends on workload. For typical Peebles home use (browser, email, Office, Netflix), 8GB is the floor and 16GB is comfortable. For modern gaming, 16GB. For creative work — video editing, 3D, audio production — 32GB or more is sensible. Beyond your real usage, extra RAM doesn't speed anything up, it just sits unused. We're happy to check your Task Manager and advise without trying to upsell.
