Upgrade Your Device in Seconds: The Surprising Benefits of Replacing Your Hard Drive with an SSD

Upgrading a laptop or PC is a common solution when it starts to feel sluggish. There are numerous reasons why a device may slow down over time. Age, software bloat, and full hard drives are some of the most common culprits. Fortunately, there are numerous options available to speed up a computer. If you're looking for an affordable and straightforward upgrade that can make a significant difference in your device's performance, consider replacing the hard drive with an SSD.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are a newer technology that uses flash memory to store data instead of spinning disks found in traditional hard drives. This design makes them much faster and more reliable than traditional hard drives, as they have no moving parts that can wear out over time. In addition to being faster and more reliable, SSDs also use less power, which can help extend battery life on laptops.

Another benefit of SSDs is their ability to improve boot and application loading times. With an SSD, a computer can boot in seconds instead of minutes, and applications will open almost instantly. This means that you can start working on your computer right away without having to wait for long periods

Finally, replacing a hard drive with an SSD is a relatively straightforward process, and can be done in just a few hours. The best part is that you won't need to reinstall your operating system or applications. Everything can be transferred across to the new drive, making it a seamless upgrade that you can enjoy right away.

In conclusion, upgrading to an SSD can provide significant benefits to your laptop or PC. With faster speeds, increased reliability, improved boot and application loading times, and a seamless upgrade process, it's no wonder that many people consider it one of the best value upgrades they can make.

Telephone Scam - Caller Claims to be from Microsoft

We've become aware of an increasingly common scam which has taken in a number of our customers as well as hearing word of it from family and friends. One of our engineers also had the scam call, so we were able to gain first-hand knowledge of what happens. The scam is well-documented here on The Guardian's website but we also know that more stubborn recipients of the call (like our engineer) will be asked to perform other so-called checks (like CheckDisk/CHKDSK) to see how your PC is running in addition to looking at the Event Viewer. These routines always display something designed to alarm you and to make you think something is wrong with your PC. You're then asked to go to a website where the caller can then fix these for you. People are then directed to payment websites in order to pay for the service. However, the caller will often remain connected to your PC, disabling your anti-virus protection and installing trojans and key-loggers. They'll then get access to c...

Beware Before You Click: The Dangers of '@' in URLs

In the digital age, where a click can lead you anywhere on the web, caution is paramount. Among the myriad of links that populate our screens, there's one particular symbol that should raise a red flag: the '@' sign in a URL. While the internet offers boundless opportunities for information and connection, it also harbours risks, and these seemingly innocuous characters can be a gateway to trouble. I came across this article the other day and it detailed something I wasn't aware of. https://chriscoyier.net/2023/05/22/if-youre-trying-to-trick-people-into-thinking-a-domain-name-is-legit-and-definitely-not-harmful-just-put-google-com-in-front-of-it/ So where does this link go :- https://www.bbc.co.uk.news.england.south.yorkshire@quad.co.uk/links/not-the-page-you-wanted.htm At first glance (and certainly if you only saw the first 50 characters) you'd be forgiven for thinking that you would end up on the BBC's website.  Hover over it first, then give it a click to se...
