SPEED-UP &
TUNE-UP
Slow to start, slow to open programs, freezing, or fans roaring all the time? I strip out the junk that slows a computer down, speed up startup, and check temperatures and drive health, so you know whether software or hardware is the real problem.
Drop-off service only. Bring your laptop or desktop to me in Waynesville, NC. I don't do remote fixes.

Still running an old spinning hard drive? Moving to an SSD is often the biggest speed boost an older computer can get.

WHY IS MY COMPUTER SO SLOW?
Usually it's software: too many programs starting with the computer, bloatware, or malware running in the background. On older computers it's often the hardware too, like an old spinning hard drive or not enough memory. The usual causes:
- Too many programs launching at startup
- Bloatware that came with the computer or snuck in with other downloads
- An old spinning hard drive, a big one on older computers
- Not enough memory for today's browsers and apps
- Dust and dried-out thermal paste making it run hot and hold back
- Malware running in the background
- A drive that's nearly full
