Why an SSD Upgrade Makes Such a Difference
Many slower laptops and desktops still use a traditional spinning hard drive. A solid-state drive has no moving parts, so the computer can start, open programs and find files much faster. For many computers, it’s the single upgrade that makes the biggest difference.
There is often no reason to buy a new computer when you can upgrade the one you already own. At Bisconti Computers, SSD upgrades are done by our own technicians at 3065 N Perryville Rd. We don’t ship out or outsource the work.
Bring your computer in or check in online. We check whether your computer is a good candidate and explain your options before any work begins.

When an SSD Isn’t the Right Fix
An SSD helps a computer that is slow because of its drive. It won’t fix a computer that is slow because of a virus, too little memory, overheating or damaged Windows files. That’s why we check the whole computer first and tell you honestly whether an SSD will make the difference you’re hoping for.
On a very old computer, the money may be better spent on a new one. If so, we’ll say so and help you move your files.
How an SSD Upgrade Works
- Walk in or check in online. Bring your computer and charger during business hours. No appointment is needed.
- We check the computer. A technician confirms an SSD will help and gives you an honest quote.
- You approve the upgrade. Nothing is changed without your approval.
- Copy, install and test. We copy your data to the new drive, install it and test the computer before pickup. Many parts are on hand, and some drives need to be ordered for your model. Some upgrades are done the same day. Repairs carry a warranty of 30 days to 1 year, depending on the repair, under the Bisconti Service Guarantee.
How Much Does an SSD Upgrade Cost?
Diagnostics start at $59. The cost depends on your computer, the size of drive you need and how much data has to be moved, so we don’t post one-size-fits-all prices.
- Honest quote first. Every repair starts with a diagnostic so we can find the real cause. The diagnostic fee is not applied to the cost of the repair. If you decide to replace your computer with one bought through Bisconti instead, we credit the diagnostic fee toward that new computer.
- No surprise costs. You hear the price before any work begins, and nothing is changed until you approve it.
- Warranty included. 30 days to 1 year, depending on the repair.
If Your Old Drive Is Already Failing
Clicking, grinding or drive warnings mean the old drive may not have long. Back up what you can, stop using the computer and bring it in. If files won’t copy from a failing drive, our data recovery service starts with an evaluation, and we’ll tell you what can be recovered and what it will cost before any recovery work begins.
