SSD & RAM Upgrades

SSD and RAM upgrade service in Cambridge

The biggest speed boost for tired computers

An SSD upgrade and a sensible amount of RAM can transform a slow machine. We assess compatibility, install quality parts, and either clone your existing system or complete a clean install with your data migrated.


What we upgrade

  • 2.5" SATA SSDs (HDD replacement)
  • M.2 NVMe / M.2 SATA (2230/2242/2280 — model-dependent)
  • Desktop & laptop RAM (DDR3/DDR4/DDR5, SODIMM/UDIMM)
  • Thermal service: dust clean & fresh paste (where accessible)
  • Firmware, BIOS/UEFI & driver updates post-install

What’s included

  • Compatibility check & parts advice (you supply, or we can source)
  • Data clone to new SSD or clean OS install + data transfer
  • Partition alignment, TRIM check & health test
  • Basic performance tune (startup/apps tidy)
  • Old drive handed back or wiped at your request

Before we visit

  • Share your make/model (e.g., Dell OptiPlex 7050 / Lenovo T14 / iMac 2019).
  • Tell us current storage size/type and RAM if known.
  • Back up anything important if you can (we can help on the day).
  • Have BitLocker/FileVault keys available if encryption is enabled.
Compatibility & limits: Some devices (e.g., certain ultra-thin laptops, Apple T2/Apple Silicon, recent iMac/MacBook models) have soldered or proprietary storage/RAM and may not be upgradable. We don’t do board-level microsoldering. Opening sealed units can affect warranty — we’ll advise options first.

FAQs

Usually, desktops are easy; many laptops are too. Some ultrabooks and newer Macs have soldered parts. Share your exact model and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

Cloning keeps your apps and settings. A clean install gives the freshest result and we migrate your files. We’ll recommend the best route based on age, health and your preferences.

Our aim is zero data loss. We clone or migrate your files and verify the new drive. If the old drive is failing, we’ll discuss safe options before proceeding.

Older iMacs/MacBooks often do (with care). Many 2016+ models have soldered storage/RAM or adhesives; upgrades may be limited. We’ll check your exact model and advise.

Some systems benefit from a small heatsink or pad, especially compact desktops or laptops under sustained load. We’ll fit sensible cooling where space allows.
