Can you really speed it up remotely?

Usually, yes. Most slowness is software: startup programs, updates, junk and a full drive. I fix that over a remote session while you watch. It’s $99 flat, anywhere in the U.S.

What if it needs a new part?

Sometimes a new drive or more memory makes an old computer feel new. I’ll tell you what would actually help and what it costs. Hands-on upgrades are done at my Columbia office for $149 flat labor, parts at cost.

Should I just buy a new computer?

Maybe, but find out first. Tell me what you use it for and how it’s acting. A free second opinion beats spending hundreds you didn’t need to.

Do I need to install anything?

Not to talk to me. If we do a remote session, I’ll walk you through starting it, and you can end it any time.

What if it’s still slow afterward?

If I can’t make it better, you don’t pay. Simple as that.

Your computer takes forever. You’re not imagining it.

You click. You wait. You click again. Ten minutes to open one email. You’ve started planning your morning around how long the computer takes to wake up.

Most slow computers aren’t finished. They’re clogged. I’ll find what’s dragging yours down, clean it up while you watch, and tell you honestly if it’s worth keeping.

Free diagnosis. $99 flat remote tune-up. Not better? You don’t pay.

Anywhere in the U.S. You watch every click, and you can disconnect any time.

I’m Bryan Leasure. 30 years in IT. I answer the phone and I do the work, for people anywhere in the U.S.

Sound familiar?

You don’t need the technical words. Tell me which of these sounds like your computer, or just describe what it’s doing.

Startup takes forever: You press the power button, go make coffee, and it’s still thinking when you get back.
Every click is a wait: The spinning wheel. The “Not responding.” Opening one email takes a full minute.
The fan runs like a jet engine: It’s loud and hot even when you’re only reading the news.
It got slow after an update: It was fine last month. Then an update ran, and now everything drags.
Someone told you it’s just old: Maybe. But plenty of “old” computers just need the right fix, not a replacement.

What I do.

I don’t just run a cleaner and hope. I find what’s actually slowing it down, fix that, and tell you the truth about the hardware.

STEP 1
Find what’s eating it
Programs that start with the computer, stuck updates, a full drive, junk software, or something that shouldn’t be there at all.
STEP 2
Clean it up
I remove what shouldn’t be running, finish the updates, and free up room, while you watch.
STEP 3
Check the hardware honestly
If the drive is failing or it simply needs more memory, I’ll tell you, and what it would cost.
STEP 4
Tell you if it’s time
If it really isn’t worth fixing, I’ll say so before you spend money, and help you pick a replacement at cost.

Keep it, upgrade it, or replace it. You’ll know.

Before you spend hundreds on a new computer, find out what’s really wrong. Sometimes it’s a fifteen-minute fix.
