PC Support & Upgrades

Love using your PC but it’s getting a bit slow nowadays? Upgraded your Wi-Fi but not sure how to reconnect to the Internet? Want to improve the performance or security of your PC and software, but not sure where to start?

I can help …

PC upgrades

I support in PC architecture and sofware, so if your PC is running slowly or has some type of issue or error, I can help. I support Operating systems from Microsoft Windows 7 onwards (though do have an old XP laptop myself that I like to play with when going down memory lane!). I work with both laptops and desktops and my usual ‘go-to’ for performance enhancements on either device is installation of additional RAM and Solid State Drive(s).

I will work with you to understand your exact requirements and discuss possible options – part of the process is discovery, so I will to understand what you currently have and use, then take matters from there. I look forward to working with you to improve either your Desktop or Laptop today!

PC MOTs

It’s always a good idea, especially if you’re not happy with the performance of your computer – to have an MOT every now and then – as you would for a car.

Just to check everything is working correctly ‘under the bonnet’, as it were!

I offer a full PC MOT service (fised price of £60), which includes:

  • Perform Anti-Virus/Spyware scan & delete threats
  • Download & install critical windows updates
  • Specialist system and hardware tests
  • PC start-up check – determines what programs are starting up with your PC
  • Registry scan and repair
  • Perform a hard drive clean-up & removal unwanted or obsolete files
  • Install driver updates for hardware devices
  • Check firewall status/settings
  • Provide a report detailing work done and any recommended upgrades

General troubleshooting

I’ve grown up with computers and used to run a BBS before the Web really took hold – my degree back in the 1990s was an IT Business course and I’ve worked extensively with various systems over the years and have a good broad knowledge of various tech, including routers, printers and servers.

If you have an issue with a certain device or part of your computer system is not performing as it should, I can help troubleshoot and suggest and where agreed, implement fixes to improve your system and get things up and running for you.

Part of this process is also discovery, so the more information you can provide either via email or phone call, the better equipped I will be to help you during a site visit, or sometimes I can solve problems remotely, using Teamviewer, Quick Assist or other suitable tools.

What people are saying about working with me

Professional, Friendly Approach

“I had several problems with my laptop. I contacted 1-2-1 PC & Web Services. I had an engineer within 2 days. He sorted out my many problems and saved me money with advice on products I was paying for and didn’t need. I now have a fast response laptop without interruption or severed links.”

Technical expertise

“We have relied on Stu’s expertise to fix problems, both big and small with our laptops and computers for a number of years. He is efficient, fast to respond and always has time to help with a quick over-the-phone query. Stu is honest and will give you options to suit your budget and takes time to explain what needs to be done.”

Great and quick service!

“Really great service, Stu identified the problem with my laptop registry and fixed it very quickly; it’s now running as fast as it did when new and has stopped giving me the dreaded blue screen of death! Highly recommend.”
