Make your computer faster without buying a new one. We install SSDs, RAM, GPUs, and other upgrades that dramatically improve performance for Long Island homes and businesses.
If your computer still has a traditional spinning hard drive, upgrading to a solid-state drive is the single most impactful improvement you can make. An SSD makes your computer boot in 15 seconds instead of 2 minutes, opens applications instantly, and eliminates the grinding slowness that makes you want to throw your machine out the window. We clone your existing drive to the new SSD so everything, your files, programs, and settings, transfers over seamlessly. SSD upgrades start at $149 including the drive and installation for Long Island customers.
If your computer slows down when you have multiple programs or browser tabs open, you likely need more RAM. We upgrade desktops and laptops with additional or faster memory. For most Long Island business users, upgrading from 8GB to 16GB eliminates slowdowns during normal work. Creative professionals working with Photoshop, video editing, or 3D rendering benefit from 32GB or more. We check your computer's maximum RAM capacity and install compatible modules. RAM upgrades start at $75 including parts.
For desktop PCs, we offer comprehensive upgrade services. Graphics card upgrades improve video editing, gaming, and multi-monitor performance. CPU upgrades, where the motherboard supports it, provide faster processing for demanding applications. We also perform full system overhauls where we upgrade multiple components simultaneously: new SSD, additional RAM, a better GPU, improved cooling, and a fresh operating system installation. This gives you essentially a new computer at a fraction of the replacement cost.
SSD upgrades start at $149 for a 500GB drive including cloning and installation. RAM upgrades start at $75 for 8GB. Graphics card upgrades range from $200 to $800+ depending on the card. A full system overhaul with SSD, RAM, and cleanup typically runs $250 to $400. We provide a free assessment to recommend the upgrades that will give you the biggest performance improvement for your budget. Call (516) 407-8111.
Most hardware upgrades are completed in 1-2 hours. SSD upgrades with data cloning take 2-4 hours depending on your current drive size. RAM installation takes about 30 minutes. We offer same-day service for most upgrades at our Long Island location. Drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon. On-site upgrades for businesses are also available.
In most cases, yes. A 3-5 year old computer with an SSD and RAM upgrade will feel nearly as fast as a new machine for everyday tasks like web browsing, email, and office work. The cost is typically 20-30% of a new computer. We will honestly assess your machine and tell you if an upgrade makes sense or if replacement is the better investment. Computers older than 7-8 years are usually better replaced.
No. For SSD upgrades, we clone your entire existing drive to the new SSD, preserving all your files, programs, and settings. For RAM upgrades, your data is not affected at all. For any upgrade that carries even a small risk to data, we create a full backup before beginning work. We have never lost a customer's data during an upgrade. Call (516) 407-8111 to schedule your upgrade with confidence.
