What the service involves
Service details
Compatibility is checked first: how many memory slots your model has, what capacity and speed it supports, and whether it takes a 2.5-inch drive, an M.2 slot or both. That determines what the machine can actually take, which varies a great deal between models.
The upgrade is then fitted and set up. Where you want your existing installation kept, the system is moved across to the new drive; where a fresh installation is preferred, that is done instead. The old drive can be retained as secondary storage on models that allow it.
Why this service may be needed
Upgrading is usually the least expensive way to make an ageing machine comfortable to use again, and it is worth considering before deciding to replace the computer. Where an upgrade will not help — because the limitation is the processor — that will be said plainly.

Frequently asked
Questions about ram & ssd upgrade
Something not covered here? Call the counter or send a message on WhatsApp with your model number and the symptom.
Can RAM be upgraded on every laptop?
No. Some models have memory soldered to the board with no slot at all, and others have a single slot with a maximum supported capacity. Your model is checked before anything is recommended.
Does an SSD really improve laptop performance?
For a machine still running a mechanical hard disk, it is the most noticeable upgrade available — start-up, application loading and file access all depend on storage speed.
How do I know if my laptop needs more memory?
If the machine slows down specifically when several applications or many browser tabs are open, and recovers when you close them, memory is the likely limit.
Can RAM and SSD be upgraded together?
Yes, and on an older machine doing both at once usually gives the clearest improvement, since they address two different bottlenecks.
Will I lose my files and my Windows installation?
Not if you want them kept. The existing system can be migrated to the new drive; a clean installation is done only if you prefer one.
