Laptop software repair
Windows that won't start, a virus, or a laptop that's slow for no clear reason.
A lot of laptops that seem finished turn out to have a software problem: a broken update, a full drive, a driver conflict or malware. That's good news, because software problems are usually the cheapest to fix.
We check the hardware too. A failing drive can look like a software problem, and reinstalling Windows on a dying drive just loses your files faster.
Signs it's software
- Stuck on the logo, a blue screen or an automatic repair loop
- Pop-ups, a changed browser homepage, or programs you didn't install
- Very slow despite decent hardware
- No Wi-Fi, sound or display after an update
- You want a clean install before selling, or after buying
What we do
- Check the drive's health before touching the system
- Back up your files first
- Repair the existing install where we can, or do a clean install of Windows or Linux where we can't
- Install the right drivers for your model, and remove malware
What affects the price
- A repair, or a clean install
- How much data needs backing up and moving
- Whether the drive needs replacing
Questions people ask
- Will reinstalling Windows delete my files?
- A clean install does, so we back them up first and put them back afterwards. You'll know which approach we're taking before we start.
- My laptop is slow. Is it a virus?
- Sometimes, but more often it's a hard drive, heat or too many programs starting with Windows. We find the actual cause before suggesting anything.
Send the model and what's wrong. You'll get a price range straight away and a fixed price once we've seen it.
