21. We Explain Technology in Plain EnglishWe explain technology in plain English 

 

You shouldn’t need to be an IT professional to understand what is happening to your computer. We’ll explain: What’s wrong. What can be done. What it is likely to cost. Whether it’s worth doing.

Practical recommendations 

 

If a tune-up is unlikely to solve the underlying problem, we’ll tell you. You may need:       computerist dot point An SSD       computerist dot point More RAM       computerist dot point Hardware repair       computerist dot point Malware removal       computerist dot point A Windows repair       computerist dot point Or eventually a replacement computer

Practical advice

We Don’t Automatically Recommend Upgrades 

Sometimes an update is the right answer. Sometimes a reinstallation makes far more sense. We’ll give you an honest assessment rather than assuming the most expensive option is the best one.
