Common questions

Will this actually make a difference?

For most machines with startup bloat and outdated drivers, yes — significantly. We show you before and after numbers so you're not just taking our word for it.

My PC is old — is a tune-up worth it?

It depends on the machine. If the hardware is fundamentally underpowered, we'll be honest about that and recommend a hardware upgrade or replacement instead.

How long does it take?

Usually same day — most tune-ups are completed within a few hours.

Can this be done remotely?

Yes — software-side tune-ups can be done remotely. Hardware checks and thermal paste review require the machine in person.

What if I need a hardware upgrade too?

If we find that a hardware upgrade would make a meaningful difference, we'll let you know with a quote — no pressure.

Free advice — try this first

Before you book, try this

Most slowdowns are software clutter, not hardware aging. These three steps fix the majority of "my PC feels slow" cases for free.

  1. Disable startup programs you don't need — Open Task Manager → Startup apps tab. Disable anything you don't need running the moment Windows boots — Spotify, Discord, your printer's helper utility, GPU overlays. This alone can cut boot time in half.
  2. Clean up disk space — Settings → System → Storage. Delete old Downloads, clear the Recycle Bin, uninstall apps you no longer use. Aim to keep at least 20% free space on your boot drive — Windows needs room to breathe.
  3. Check for malware — Windows Defender → Virus & threat protection → Full scan. Hidden malware is one of the most common causes of "my computer is slow" — it runs quietly in the background eating CPU and RAM.

If that doesn't fix it, that's what we're here for. The $24.99 diagnostic still applies — no fix, no charge.
