Laptop SSD upgrade in Whitton
SSD upgrades for Dell, HP, Lenovo and other Windows laptops in Whitton. We clone your files across. Quote after we see the machine. Call 07918 440326.
What the fault looks like
- —A laptop that takes minutes to reach the desktop, or grinds whenever you open a folder
- —A drive so full that Windows cannot update, on a machine you otherwise still want to keep
- —An older hard drive you can hear clicking or spinning, and you would like the files off it as part of the upgrade
- —A machine you have been told "needs a new SSD" without anyone checking whether the storage is soldered
What we actually do
Some laptops take a 2.5-inch drive, some an M.2 stick, and a few ultrabooks have the storage soldered down. Soldered storage cannot be upgraded. We would rather say that at the counter than sell a drive that will not fit. The model sticker is under the machine, or just bring the laptop.
Where the drive comes out, we clone it so Windows and your files come back, and we check the clone boots. If the old drive is already failing, that is data recovery, which has its own page.
Apple machines are a different connector and, on M1 and later, often cannot be upgraded at all. Those prices, where we publish them, are on the MacBook SSD page. We do not copy those figures onto a Dell or a Lenovo.
Parts and grades, stated plainly
Named-brand drives, the same rule as our MacBook upgrades. Capacity depends on the laptop, so the quote comes after we identify the machine.
Warranty
3 months on the work we carry out, the same written repair warranty as every other job on this site. It covers the part we fitted and the work we did. New physical damage after the repair is not covered. Full terms are on the warranty page. Full terms on the warranty page.
What to tell us when you book
The model number matters more than the name on the lid. A photo of the sticker underneath is enough to say whether an upgrade is possible before you leave Hounslow or Feltham. In Whitton, skip the photo and walk it in.
Tell us whether the laptop still boots. A machine that reaches the desktop is a clone. A machine that clicks and never gets there is a data recovery first, and an upgrade second, and we will not quote them as the same job.
