Desktop Hard Drive Replacement & SSD Upgrade Portsmouth
SSD Upgrade
We replace your slow mechanical hard drive with a fast SSD — and clone your existing Windows installation, programs, and data so everything works exactly as before, just much faster.
Failed Hard Drive Replacement
If your hard drive is clicking, making grinding noises, or your PC is reporting SMART errors, it's failing. We replace it before it dies completely — and recover your data if it's already too late.
Data Migration
We transfer all your files, programs, settings, and Windows installation from your old drive to the new SSD. No reinstalling, no data loss, no setup headaches.
Dual Drive Setup
Want the speed of an SSD and the capacity of a hard drive? We set up dual-drive configurations — SSD for Windows and programs, hard drive for bulk storage.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much faster is an SSD?
Dramatically. A typical SSD is 5–10x faster than a mechanical hard drive for everyday tasks. Boot times drop from 2–3 minutes to 10–20 seconds. Programs open instantly. The whole system feels new.
Will I lose my data?
No. We clone your existing drive to the new SSD, so all your files, programs, and settings are preserved exactly as they were. If your old drive is failing, we recover data first and transfer what we can.
What size SSD do I need?
250GB for basic use with cloud storage. 500GB for comfortable use with plenty of programs. 1TB+ if you have large photo/video collections or games. We'll advise based on your current drive usage.
