Perhaps your system needs more memory? Or a larger hard drive? Or a faster video card for gaming or multimedia capabilities? A new operating system? Better cooling system? A faster processor? What to do with your old PC?

​

I can inspect your current system, make recommendations, and explain to you what you need and why. You can tell me what you use the computer for, and I can optimize it for your purposes. Having more memory will improve performance if you run a lot of programs or have multiple users logged on simultaneously. With today's higher resolution digital cameras and HD video recorders, the files produced by these devices are significantly larger, so having a larger disk drive will allow you to store more data and install more programs.

​

If upgrading a system to modern standards is cost-prohibitive, I can recommend a new computer purchase within your budget for your computer needs, and I can help you migrate your files and settings, and reinstall your software on the new computer. I can show you ways that an old computer can be reused, such as a network-attached storage device, a streaming audio or video player, or an internet kiosk for a guest room or for the kids.

​

Sometimes, it is simply time to refresh a computer and do some "spring cleaning". This entails backing up the system, formatting the hard disk, and reinstalling the operating system, software, all current updates, and restoring your files and settings.
