Breathe new life into your computer
Before you spend hundreds or thousands on a new machine, talk to Microsys. In many cases a well-chosen upgrade transforms a slow, frustrating computer into a fast, responsive one — often for under a few hundred dollars, and a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Our Perth technicians assess your computer, recommend the upgrades that will make the biggest difference, and install them properly with your data intact. From lightning-fast SSDs to extra memory and better graphics, we help you get years more life out of hardware you already own.
Most upgrades are installed and tested the same day, and we always give you honest advice — if an upgrade won't help, or replacing is genuinely smarter, we'll tell you. That's why thousands of Perth households and businesses trust Microsys with their technology.
These are the upgrades that transform a slow computer. We'll recommend the right ones for your machine and budget, with a fixed price before we start.
SSD upgrades
Swapping a slow mechanical hard drive for a fast solid-state drive is the single biggest speed boost most computers can get. Your PC boots in seconds, programs load instantly, and a frustratingly slow machine suddenly feels brand new — all for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
Memory (RAM) upgrades
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.
Storage expansion
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.
Graphics card upgrades
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.
Cooling & cleaning
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.
Operating system refresh
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.

Upgrade vs replace
Why upgrading beats buying new
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.
Quality components, certified technicians and honest advice — here's what makes our upgrades different.
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 certified Perth technicians have years of hands-on experience across every major brand and build, which means the right advice and a clean, professional installation.
We also know you want your computer back fast, so we work efficiently. Most upgrades — SSDs, memory, storage — are installed and tested the same day, and we always give you a realistic timeframe upfront. You'll never be left wondering what's happening or facing a surprise bill at the end.
We upgrade computers for students, families, gamers, creators and businesses right across Perth, and we explain everything in plain English — no jargon, no upselling. Whether it's a home PC or a critical work machine, we treat it with the same care and attention.
And every upgrade is backed by our 90-day workmanship guarantee, so you can go ahead with complete confidence. It's the kind of honest, reliable service that has earned Microsys the trust of thousands of Perth customers — and the reason so many of them come back and recommend us.

Computer upgrade FAQs
Answers to the questions Perth customers ask us most. Still not sure? We're happy to help over the phone.
Yes — for most older computers, switching to an SSD is the single biggest speed improvement you can make. Boot times and program loading drop from minutes to seconds. If your PC still uses a traditional hard drive, an SSD upgrade is almost always the best-value improvement.
Book a quick assessment and we'll tell you honestly which upgrade gives the best result for your computer, your usage and your budget. Sometimes it's an SSD, sometimes more RAM, sometimes both — and occasionally we'll advise that replacing is the smarter move.
No. We clone or transfer your data so everything — your files, programs and settings — is exactly where you left it after the upgrade. We can also set up a backup at the same time for extra peace of mind.
It depends on the parts, but upgrades typically cost far less than a new computer. An SSD or memory upgrade often lands in the low hundreds, including installation. We'll always give you a fixed, upfront quote before we start.
Often, yes. An SSD and extra RAM can give a five to seven year old machine several more genuinely useful years. We'll give you honest advice on whether upgrading is worthwhile for your specific model, or if your money is better spent elsewhere.
Most upgrades, including SSDs and memory, are installed and tested the same day. Larger jobs or a clean operating system reinstall may take a little longer, and we'll always give you a clear timeframe upfront.
Yes. Many laptops can take an SSD and memory upgrade that transforms their speed. Some newer ultra-thin laptops have soldered components with limited options — we'll check yours and tell you exactly what's possible.
Absolutely. Every upgrade we carry out is backed by our 90-day workmanship guarantee. If something related to our work isn't right, we'll make it right.
