Bumpy start but exceeded my expectations... The reason I say bumpy start is I took my HP desktop computer to the guys at kingfisher computers. And told them after i got a friend to install windows 10 for me i couldn't get updates and updates it would ask for a products key but said activated. Plus it was crashing all the time. After a couple of hours, kingfisher called me back and informed me that the computer was wicked full of viruses, and I had lots of other programs running in the background that i didn't need, I think they called it bloat-software or something like that. So later that day, I picked my computer up, and they had made it run faster, and it had stopped crashing. But I still couldn't do updates, the main reason I took the computer to kingfisher in the first place. When I returned the guy at the counter informed me that, they had told me it was running a non-genuine version of windows, and they advised me to get a genuine version to enable it to do updates. thats why it was asking for a product key. I do remember them telling me this, but at I would need to buy windows 10, I declined. He also showed me on their computer job system, that they did advise this, but I declined. And they were correct. So after a chat with the guy, i decided that i was going to purchase a genuine version of microsoft Windows 10, but they told me that if I get an SSD, it would vastly increase my speed. They could do windows 10 cheaper, with the November version of windows 10 update. I agreed. So that was the bumpy start out the windows. When I collected my computer, they give me a demo of how fast my computer was now, after they installed an SSD. They were correct. It took seconds to boot with an SSD. Now I'm faster than an Elon Musk rocket. i can do all my updates, and i have this fantastic SSD hard drive with all my programs, software and data on. Advice, don't get friends to install windows 10 to fix your computers, for you because they do it for free or for cheap, get the experts to do it, and listen to their advice. It's worth it in the long run. Five stars from me over and out. read more

Very happy with the service from this shop. I took mt desktop in as I thought I had all of my pictures off my computer. this shop managed to find them. But advised me on an upgrade and the hard drive needed replacing. as I was confident on these guys ability after retrieving all of my photos I went ahead with it. I also decided tp upgraded 2 of my laptops aswell by adding solid-state drives and more RAM after their recommendation. Honestly, I didn't know what they were talking about, but they assured me it would make them like new plus better than ever. I could not have made a better choice. They now perform lots better than when they were new! It was all done within a day and a half. they also advised me to start making backups. so rather than sell me an external drive, they told me where I could buy an external drive as they had none in stock and they found me what I needed for the best price and sent me to Tescos to buy it. then showed me how to use it. to do my backups. I couldn't recommend this company enough! customer service first rate and unsurpassable. read more
