SSD Installation in Mougins
In Mougins, does your PC or Mac take 3 minutes to start up? The SSD is the most effective upgrade for turning a sluggish computer into a modern machine. On-site visit (Tournamy, Mougins-le-Haut) or collection to the workshop in Le Cannet, with a speed boost of up to 10x.
The SSD is the investment with the best return for a PC or Mac that drags. For €100-180 for the part plus labour, we turn a 5-year-old machine into a smooth computer. Boot in 10 seconds, instant applications, no more freezing when several windows are open. A service much in demand in Mougins, where customers prefer to extend the life of a high-end Mac or PC rather than buy a new one.
Identical cloning makes the service simple for you: your current Windows or macOS, your installed programs, your documents, your settings, your passwords — everything is copied to the SSD exactly as it was. You get your machine back exactly as before, just 10x faster. No reinstalling for you to do.
For Mougins, I offer collection at home free of charge (you leave the SSD at the workshop for the time it takes to clone, and I bring the machine back within 24-48 h) or an on-site visit if you want to see how it's done (allow 3-5 h at your home). Your choice, depending on your availability.

Frequently asked questions
Is my 2015 iMac worth investing in an SSD?expand_more
Absolutely! The 2014-2017 iMacs are among the machines that gain the most from an SSD upgrade. The screen has to be removed (a workshop job in Le Cannet, 10 min from Mougins), then the machine is extended by 5 years with incredible speed. Many of my Mougins customers have extended the life of their family iMac with this simple change.
What SSD capacity for everyday use?expand_more
500 GB is enough for 95% of uses (office work, internet, moderate photos). For photographers, videographers or gamers: 1 TB. 250 GB only if you really have little data.
On-site or at the workshop, which should I choose?expand_more
On site if you want to see how it's done and the machine is easy to transport (heavy desktop PC, iMac). At the workshop if you would rather not be disturbed — I collect and return it. Your choice, same price either way for Mougins.
How long will my computer be unavailable?expand_more
24 to 48 h for Mougins. The cloning takes 1-3 h depending on the amount of data, but I group my visits together. Same-day express possible in the event of a work emergency.
And my old hard drive?expand_more
You keep it by default; I return it to you in a USB enclosure (which I supply) — it becomes an external backup drive. If you prefer eco-friendly recycling, that's free, with secure erasure.
Mougins, your Mac or PC gets its speed back within 48 h.
Free diagnosis. If I can't fix it, you pay nothing. 3-month guarantee on every job.
