Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about slow computer fix in Stirlingshire.
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.
Plenty of slow computer fix jobs in Stirling are sorted on the same day, during the visit or at our Edinburgh workshop. If a part is needed, we say how long it will take. 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 FK7 — King Street, Murray Place, Port Street — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full FK7 postcode area. That includes King Street, Murray Place, Port Street, Causewayhead, St Ninians, the Castle side, and the rest of central Stirling. A workshop drop-off, a posted repair, a booked home visit or a collection all work for Stirling; visits and collections are by appointment and carry a travel fee.
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.
The usual causes are an old mechanical hard drive, too little memory for modern browsers and apps, too many programs starting with Windows, a nearly full drive, dust making it overheat and throttle, or malware running in the background. We measure which one it is before recommending anything.
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 Stirling 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 Stirling 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 Stirling 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.
