Slow computer? Often the cheapest fix in the shop

Moving an older computer from a spinning hard drive to a solid-state drive (SSD) is the single most dramatic speed upgrade most machines can get, usually for far less than replacement. Add memory, clear out startup clutter, and a five-year-old computer can feel new again. The diagnostic tells us whether your slowdown is hardware, software, or both.

Virus and malware removal

Pop-ups, redirects, fake warning screens, or a machine that’s just not acting like yours, we clean infections and, more importantly, explain honestly how to keep them from coming back. No scare tactics. Virus and malware cleanup is done in-store at our Market Street location, after a diagnosis and a clear quote before any work starts. We do not promise the computer will stay virus-free afterward.

Windows 11 upgrades and older computers

Still on Windows 10? We’ll tell you whether your computer can move to Windows 11, handle the upgrade when it can, and lay out honest options when it can’t, including Certified Refurbished replacements with a one-year warranty.

Gaming PC repairs

Thermal problems, hardware upgrades, builds that won’t post, gaming rigs are welcome, and repairs are performed by Computer Warriors after evaluation.

Repair or replace? We'll do that math with you

That’s the question behind most computer visits, and it deserves a real answer with real numbers. Start with our laptop repair-or-replace guide, or just bring the machine in, if replacement wins, we’ll say so.
