What a PC Tune-Up Can Do. Can Do: Clean up unnecessary files and programs; fix many Windows errors and repair system files; remove malware and unwanted software; improve startup and performance; check drive health; update drivers where needed; help your system run better within its current capabilities. Can’t Do: Replace or repair failing hardware; fix a PC that won’t turn on; add features your hardware doesn’t support; overcome hardware limitations such as low RAM, an older CPU or soldered components; fix physical damage; guarantee major speed improvements on very old PCs. What is Your PC’s Situation? Please provide make and model or a picture of the serial number. This helps determine if your PC can meet modern demands and what options are available.

A simple look inside your computer.

Storage. Hard drive (HDD) vs. solid-state drive (SSD). Storage is where your files, programs and Windows are kept. An SSD has no moving parts and is much faster, while an HDD uses spinning disks and is slower but often has more space for a lower cost. Upgrading from an HDD to an SSD can make an older computer feel much faster and more responsive.
GPU. Graphics Processing Unit. The graphics card handles images, video and 3D graphics. A more powerful GPU can improve performance in gaming, video editing, 3D design and other graphics-heavy tasks. An older or basic GPU may limit performance in graphics-intensive programs and games.
Motherboard. The main circuit board. The motherboard connects all of your computer’s parts. It lets the CPU, RAM, storage and other components work together and also determines what hardware can be installed or upgraded. An older motherboard may limit the type or amount of hardware that can be used.
Network Adapter. Connects your computer to a network. It provides a wired Ethernet or wireless Wi-Fi connection so you can access the internet, other devices and network resources. An older or faulty network adapter can cause slow or unreliable internet connections.
Fan. Keeps your computer cool. The fan helps keep your computer cool and running properly. It moves air through the case to remove heat from the CPU, GPU and other components. A dusty or failing fan can cause higher temperatures, which may lead to slower performance or shutdowns.
Power Supply. Provides power to your computer. The power supply provides power to all of your computer’s parts. It converts power from the wall outlet into the correct voltage to run the motherboard, CPU, GPU, storage and other components. An older or failing power supply can cause random shutdowns, stability issues or prevent the computer from turning on.
