Keep a usable laptop working for your needs with a compatible SSD or RAM upgrade. Doorstep Device Repairs checks the exact model, replaceable components and any data-transfer requirements before arranging a Sudbury-area home or workplace visit.
Think about the task that feels slow. Starting the laptop, opening files and switching between applications are different problems, and a hardware upgrade will not solve every one. Send the model and a short description of your typical work so suitability can be checked.
More details
Some laptops have soldered memory or storage that cannot be upgraded through a normal replacement. Capacity, interface, physical size and device support matter. Performance gains vary, so no specific speed improvement is promised.
Laptop upgrade labour prices
SSD fitting and testing is £59 labour plus the SSD, without data transfer or an operating-system installation. Fitting with straightforward healthy-drive cloning is £89 total labour plus the SSD, for a compatible source and up to two hours on site. The £89 is not added to £59.
More details
RAM fitting is £49 labour plus the RAM, or £20 fitting when combined with an SSD job on the same laptop. The written quote confirms the component, capacity, condition and total.
Choose the data plan before the visit
Decide which files and applications you need to keep. Straightforward cloning copies a suitable healthy source drive; it is not a recovery procedure for a failing drive, and it is not a substitute for a backup.
More details
Ask what is included in the quoted work. A fresh installation, restoration from backup or an incompatible source can change the scope. Have your own backup and the ability to enter any recovery key yourself. Do not send keys through a message.
Before your appointment
Back up important files and check that the backup completed. Have your charger and a clean, well-lit table ready. Tell us about earlier repairs, liquid exposure or other existing damage. You must own the device or have permission from its owner.
More details
Keep passwords, passcodes and recovery keys private. Be available to unlock the device yourself for agreed checks. Any cloning, deletion, formatting or reinstalling needs specific authorisation. If the device has a swollen battery or unusual heat, contact us before arranging a standard visit.
Ready to ask about your device?
Send the model, symptoms and postcode. We will check the right next step.
A suitable SSD or RAM upgrade may help particular workloads, but the right choice depends on the model and the bottleneck. We check compatibility and explain the scope before quoting, without promising a fixed speed gain.
Can I keep my files when fitting a new SSD?
Straightforward cloning is available for a healthy, compatible source under the agreed scope. Back up important files independently and check the backup. Other transfers or reinstalls must be agreed separately.
Can you fit RAM and an SSD in one visit?
Where both are compatible and agreed in advance, RAM fitting can be combined with the SSD job on the same laptop. The published combined RAM fitting charge is £20 plus the RAM.
