Slow computers
A slow computer may have a software problem, limited storage, or hardware that would benefit from an upgrade. The right starting point is to check the cause before spending money on new parts.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- A long wait when the computer starts
- Programs freezing or taking ages to open
- A machine that has gradually become slower
At home or online?
If it still starts and connects to the internet, a remote session may be suitable. Hardware checks or upgrades need a home visit.
Before getting in touch
If the drive is making unusual noises or files have started disappearing, mention that first. Protecting the files takes priority over making the machine faster.
