A slow computer is maddening — but the fix is usually simple and free. Before you think about buying a new one, try these six things in order. Most folks are back to normal by step two.
If it's still crawling after all six, there may be a deeper cause — or, if it's an older machine with a spinning hard drive, an SSD upgrade can make it feel brand new for far less than a new computer. We'll take a look remotely and give you an honest answer — fix it, upgrade it, or (rarely) time for a new one. No pressure, no upselling.
A remote tune-up is a flat $45 — we clear the clutter, sort the updates, and check for junk while you watch. If a new machine ever makes more sense, we'll tell you straight and give free buying advice.

Usually not. Most slowness is too many open programs, a full drive, or pending updates — all fixable. Only very old machines may be worth upgrading, and we'll tell you honestly first.
Sometimes — adware slows things down; a free Malwarebytes scan helps. But if you also see a pop-up telling you to call a number, that's a scam — don't call it, and get a free check from us.
