SSD Installation in Le Cannet
You live in Le Cannet and your PC takes 3 minutes to start? Upgrading to an SSD is the most effective boost for an ageing machine. Workshop at 23 bis Avenue des Cigales, work done in 24-48 h, your computer cloned identically onto a high-performance SSD.
The SSD is the investment with the best return for a PC that lags. For €100-180 including parts and labour, we turn a sluggish computer into a smooth machine. Windows boots in 10 seconds instead of 3 minutes, applications open instantly, no more freezing with multiple windows. It's the upgrade I systematically recommend to my Le Cannet customers when they tell me 'my PC is slow'.
Identical cloning is what makes it so convenient: your current Windows, your installed programs, your documents, your Wi-Fi passwords, your settings — everything is copied onto the SSD exactly as it was. You get your machine back exactly as before, but 10× faster. No reinstall to do, no files to transfer manually. You restart and you get to work.
As you're in Le Cannet, I can come and collect your PC from your home free of charge and bring it back as soon as it's ready. Ideal if you work from home or have little time to drop by the workshop. Budget for 24 to 48 h to get your machine back.

Frequently asked questions
My computer is 7 years old, is it worth investing in an SSD?expand_more
Often yes, especially if the motherboard, RAM and screen are in good condition. For €130-180 total, you extend your PC's life by 4-5 years with a perceived speed identical to a new computer. Far better value for money than a new €800 PC.
What SSD capacity for standard use in Le Cannet?expand_more
500 GB is more than enough for 95% of uses (office work, internet, emails, moderate photos). If you store lots of videos or play recent games, go for 1 TB. 250 GB only if you really have very little data.
Do I keep my old hard drive?expand_more
Yes by default, I return it to you in a USB enclosure that I supply — it becomes a handy external backup drive. If you'd rather I recycle it (secure erasure), that's free.
Does my old 2015 iMac deserve an SSD?expand_more
Absolutely! The 2014-2017 iMacs are the machines that benefit most from an SSD upgrade. Screen removal required (work done at the workshop in Le Cannet), then a machine extended by 5 years with incredible speed. A very popular service.
How long will my PC be with you?expand_more
24 to 48 h on average in Le Cannet. The cloning itself takes 1-3 h depending on the amount of data, but I batch jobs together. Possible same-day express for a professional emergency.
In Le Cannet, turn your PC into a modern machine in 48 h.
