SSD installation in Mandelieu-la-Napoule
Slow PC in Mandelieu, La Napoule or Capitou? The SSD is the upgrade that changes everything. For €130-250 (part + labour), your machine regains the speed of a modern PC: boot in 10 seconds, instant applications, smooth multitasking. Lifespan extended by 4-5 years.
In Mandelieu, I handle two main profiles for the SSD: permanent residents whose family PC is starting to show its age (5-10 years), and second-home owners who have an old PC on site that gets occasional use but lags terribly on every visit. For both, the SSD is the most cost-effective solution before thinking about buying again.
Identical cloning makes the transition invisible: Windows, programs, files, bookmarks, Wi-Fi passwords — everything is preserved bit for bit. You get your PC back exactly as before, just 10 times faster. Particularly welcome for second homes: you won't have to catch up technically when you arrive on holiday, you pick up exactly where you left off.
Mandelieu is 15 minutes from my workshop in Le Cannet via the A8. I collect your PC from your home (free from €60), I clone it at the workshop, and I bring it back tested. Work done within 24-48 h depending on the schedule. For professionals and Airbnb owners, I can prioritise if you have a guest stay coming up soon.

Frequently asked questions
My PC at the second home in La Napoule is slow, but it gets little use. Do I really need an SSD?expand_more
For €130-200 all in, yes — it transforms how it feels to use. You'll no longer have to wait 5 minutes on every visit for it to become usable. And it extends the machine by 4-5 years: what you save by not buying a new PC more than pays for it.
How long without my PC?expand_more
24 to 48 h on average. If you have a stay starting in 3 days and you want the PC working on arrival, make the urgency clear when you get in touch — I try to prioritise.
My photos, my configured Outlook email, my passwords: will they all still be there afterwards?expand_more
Yes, identically. Cloning copies the entire drive: system, programs, files, accounts, settings. You won't reconfigure anything.
How much does an SSD cost these days?expand_more
€40 for 250 GB, €70 for 500 GB, €110 for 1 TB. The 500 GB is the most requested and suits 80% of uses. Reliable brands: Samsung, Crucial, WD.
The old drive — do I get it back?expand_more
Yes, by default, in a USB enclosure I supply. That makes it an external backup drive ready to use immediately. If you prefer, I recycle it free of charge (secure erasure guaranteed).
Mandelieu: your PC becomes fast again, in time for your next stay.
Free diagnosis. If I can't fix it, you pay nothing. 3-month guarantee on every job.
