A slow computer does not always need replacing. The right SSD, memory or storage upgrade can improve everyday performance and extend the useful life of your desktop or laptop. We check compatibility first, explain the options clearly and provide an upfront quote.
Before replacing a slow computer, it is worth finding out what is actually holding it back. A well-chosen upgrade may improve startup, loading and multitasking without the disruption of moving to a completely new machine.
Our Perth technicians assess the computer, consider how you use it and recommend compatible components that address the real bottleneck. Options can include an SSD, additional memory, more storage, improved graphics or better cooling.
Turnaround depends on the component, testing and any data transfer required. If an upgrade is unlikely to provide good value—or replacing the computer makes more sense—we will explain that before work begins. If your computer needs more than an upgrade, see our computer repairs service.

These are the upgrades most often considered for slow, limited or ageing computers. We check the model, compatible parts and your budget before recommending a solution.
Replacing a mechanical hard drive with a compatible solid-state drive can provide one of the most noticeable everyday improvements. Startup, programs and files generally load more quickly, although results depend on the rest of the system.
If your computer slows to a crawl with lots of tabs or apps open, more RAM is the answer. Adding memory means smoother multitasking, fewer freezes and better performance in everything from web browsing to photo editing and spreadsheets.
Running out of space for photos, videos and files? We add larger or additional drives so you never hit the limit again, and we make sure your existing data is moved across safely and stays exactly where you expect it.
Whether you're gaming, editing video or working with design software, a better graphics card makes a huge difference. We recommend and install a GPU that's properly matched to your system, power supply and budget.
Overheating quietly throttles performance and shortens your computer's life. We remove built-up dust, improve airflow and replace failing fans so your machine runs cooler, quieter and faster under load.
Years of clutter, leftover software and background processes drag any computer down. A clean, optimised Windows reinstall clears it all out and restores that fast, fresh feeling — with your important files safely backed up first. See our data backup and transfer service for extra peace of mind.

Good upgrade work starts with accurate compatibility checks, sensible recommendations and careful testing. Here is how we approach each job.
An upgrade often costs a fraction of a new computer, giving you years more life from hardware you already own.
Same files, same programs, same familiar machine — just dramatically faster. Nothing to relearn.
If an upgrade won't help, or replacing is genuinely smarter, we'll tell you straight. No upselling, ever.
We fit reliable, properly matched parts from trusted brands — not the cheapest options that fail early.
We provide a realistic timeframe after checking the computer, parts availability and any data-transfer requirements.
Every upgrade is backed by our Written workmanship guarantee, for genuine peace of mind.
When a computer feels slow, it's tempting to assume it's time for a new one. In reality, most slowness comes from a small number of fixable bottlenecks — usually a slow hard drive or not enough memory — and addressing those with an upgrade can make an older computer feel brand new for a fraction of the price of replacing it.
Upgrading also keeps everything exactly as you had it. There's no need to migrate your files, reinstall programs, hunt down old passwords or set up a new machine from scratch — your computer comes back working the way you're used to, just much faster. We clone your existing data across so nothing changes except the speed.
It's also far kinder to your wallet and the environment, keeping a perfectly good computer out of landfill. And on the occasions when an upgrade genuinely won't deliver — for example, if your computer is simply too old to benefit — we'll tell you honestly, so you can make the smart decision with all the facts in front of you.

Choosing the right upgrade matters as much as fitting it well. Microsys recommends quality, properly matched components — reliable SSDs, the correct memory for your system, and graphics cards suited to your power supply — so you get a real, lasting performance boost. Our Perth technicians work across a wide range of brands and computer builds, with recommendations based on compatibility, intended use and value.
