Install hardware components

Your Geek will install any hardware components that you require, whether bought by you prior to the service or recommended and supplied by us onsite!

Install necessary drivers

Sorry, wondering what a driver is? It’s just ‘geek speak’ for the software that will make your hardware and operating system talk to each other and work together. Any specific ones that are required for your new hardware to function properly will be downloaded and installed on your computer by us.

Update operating system requirements

Different pieces of hardware have different operating system requirements. This just means that they require a certain version of Windows (or other operating system) before they’re compatible with your computer. We’ll make sure your operating system is up to date.

Testing to ensure optimal performance

Before leaving, we will finish by running through a series of thorough tests to ensure that your new hardware is functioning properly and performing at its optimal level.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can laptop RAM be upgraded?

  In non-geek terms, RAM is the memory on your laptop. Having more memory means you’ll have more space to store images, files, videos and more.

  Most laptops allow you to upgrade your RAM but this isn’t something you should attempt yourself and doing it incorrectly could damage your data.

  Contact Geeks2U to find out if your laptop is compatible with a RAM upgrade and book a time for us to come out to you to install it.

• Should I upgrade my PC?

  In many cases, upgrading your current PC is more affordable than buying a new computer. Just some things you may want to consider include:

  – Adding more RAM (memory) so that your PC operates faster and freezes less

  – An SSD upgrade or new hard drive to provide more memory. Newer models allow you to read and write data faster so there’s less down time

  – For gamers, installing a graphics card will make the images on your games look better and the PC with run more smoothly

  If you’re unsure if an upgrade will help, call Geeks2U and we can help provide advice on the best option based on your PCs symptoms.
