computer repairs, laptop health checks

---

Laptops rarely get the TLC which they need and rarely have a system check performed. A health check can be performed to cover the following items: Check of hard drive, memory, inspect for any damage. A full operating system inspection to check for viruses, security setup, updates and, storage usage.

Internal inspection to check for and, to clean all accessible system components using safe methods. 

A full report provided at the end with recommendations where applicable - Just like a health check for your car but, for your Laptop!

This is a great way to super-charge your Laptop or to add more storage space. 

More memory can help with running some applications and, can make the boot process quicker. 

An updated hard drive can be a game changer for boot up times and, can enable greater storage space. In some cases, an upgraded hard drive, can make the Laptop feel like a brand new machine!

*Not all laptops can be upgraded however, this can be quickly determined according to the make and model. Please contact me for more information.

Having a system and or file backup in place, is crucial to ensuring your data is safe. 

While a lot of people have cloud backups in place, understanding what is backed up and what is not, is essential in the event that your Laptop is no more for a multitude of potential reasons. 

Having a local backup in place is better than nothing but, ensuring that this is working correctly, is paramount to the integrity of your data. 

I can help provide guidance on best practices, ensure you have the most appropriate backup in place and, leave you with the confidence should the worst happen.

Worried you might have a virus? I can perform a full virus scan of your device and in most cases, can remove this. Where a virus cannot be removed, a full system re-install can be performed. 

In some cases, a full operating system re-install may be required. This can be required for a variety of reasons but done incorrectly, and a loss of time and, data can result. 

I can provide this service for you ensuring that a full backup and recovery of your data is performed as part of this. 

Ransomware only targets large companies, right? 

Sadly, this is a common misconception. Just because you don't read about ransomware attacks affecting individuals or small businesses, this doesn't mean that it isn't happening. 

Ransomware can be frightening and, can render your device and, data completely useless. 

With over 5 years experience in Cyber Security, I can quickly check the impact of any infection and, advise on next steps. 

*Please note; in a lot of cases, the next step is recovery and data recovery from a known good backup.
