Christies Beach – Digital Insite Adelaide Computers + Support

Today I’m helping out a crash repairer in Christies Beach with one of their office PC’s not booting up to Windows. The manager told me that if you wait long enough it sometimes loads the desktop in Windows 10 after about 10 minutes of loading. I told him that my immediate suspicious were of a slow, old mechanical hard disk dragging the whole system down and said that an SSD upgrade would go a long way to the computers performance (or huge lack thereof). He agreed to go ahead with the upgrade so I took the PC back to my workshop in Hallett Cove and began by installing the new SSD and getting Windows 10 setup on the new drive.

It was very easy to see the chasm of performance difference once the SSD went in – especially now that the system booted up to the Windows 10 desktop in around 10 seconds. That’s a fairly decent performance upgrade from 10 minutes! All up, the didn’t lose any data, they have a system that’s super quick to use and didn’t lose any data at all.

A long time customer of mine (12 years +) in Christies Beach called today saying they had a few issues with their laptop running slow and were having trouble when trying to copy photos from off of their Samsung phone to the laptop. I updated the USB drivers for the phone to the latest version and setup their phone to the correct USB media device mode and helped them write an instruction sheet for copying photos in the future. They were also having some issues with the free version of Avast Antivirus coming up with a LOT of onscreen ads and prompts for extra programs that Avast sell so I set Avast to “silent mode” and all of those annoying popups went away. Lastly I setup a desktop icon from the website ninite.com to update their programs easily anytime they want. Gotta love automation! I just had to stop by Christies Beach on the way home to check out the awesome surf the wind was whipping up. Such a great beach to run and skateboard along the beachfront. Have a great night guys 🙂
