Will adding more RAM speed up my computer?

RAM upgrades deliver noticeable speed improvements specifically for multitasking — running multiple browser tabs, Office documents, and background apps simultaneously. Jumping from 8GB to 16GB helps power users and those running Zoom/Teams alongside other work. RAM upgrades do not speed up boot times (that’s the hard drive’s job) or single-application performance in isolation. Before upgrading, checking Task Manager > Performance > Memory reveals whether RAM is actually the bottleneck.

SSD upgrade costs in Perth depends on size of SSD drive you choose plus labour charges. Upgrading to a 500GB SSD — sufficient for most users — sits around $149–$199 excluding labour price. The performance gain is significant: boot times drop from 60–90 seconds to under 15 seconds, and application launch speeds improve by 3–5x. The Tech Co provides full data migration service.

Setting up a printer on a new computer requires installing the correct driver from the manufacturer’s website (not the CD — these are outdated), connecting via USB or adding the printer over Wi-Fi through Windows Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners. Wireless printer setup often fails when the printer and computer are on different Wi-Fi bands (2.4GHz vs 5GHz). If the printer still won’t connect after following setup steps, The Tech Co offers printer setup as part of its computer setup service across Perth.

 

An SSD (Solid State Drive) stores data on flash memory chips with no moving parts — it’s fast, silent, and durable. An HDD (Hard Disk Drive) stores data on spinning magnetic platters read by a moving arm — slower, heavier, and vulnerable to physical shock. SSDs outperform HDDs on every everyday metric: boot speeds, file open times, and multitasking. The trade-off is cost per gigabyte — HDDs remain cheaper for bulk storage (2TB+). Most modern laptops ship with SSDs; upgrading an HDD-equipped machine to SSD is the single most impactful upgrade available.

A basic new computer setup — Wi-Fi, accounts, email, and key software — takes 1–1.5 hours. When data migration from an old device is included, allow 2–4 hours depending on data volume (large photo libraries and media collections take longer). Microsoft 365 installs and full Windows Update cycles can add another hour. A professional in-home setup covers everything in one visit, ensuring the machine is properly configured, up to date, and ready to use before the technician leaves.
