Virus Removal *

Back to Top
Sometimes, the causes of those crashes, blue screens, or overall slow performance may be a virus or other kinds of malware in your system. In more extreme cases, those viruses or malware may be capable of doing even more catastrophic damage to your system or the data contained within.

Malware can slip into your system from a suspicious email, downloading music or video files, or even a surprise download from just casually browsing the Internet. PC Runs virus removal service will make sure all traces of malware are gone from your system, so you can get back to doing what you need to do.

However, some malware can attach to your own user files, and can be so powerful that getting rid of them requires your hard drive to be reformatted, and if that is the case, it’s highly recommended that you keep an up-to-date backup of your important user data and any important programs you have installed.

Operating System Upgrade

Back to Top
Microsoft doesn’t support Windows 7 or Windows 8-8.1 anymore. These operating systems still work but are not supported any more. There are no updates or fixes being made for them anymore. If you find yourself still using one of these Operating Systems you just might want to upgrade to Windows 10. 

Fortunately for you, Windows 10 still can be gotten for free from Microsoft at this webpage:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

However, support for Windows 10 ends October 14, 2025. 

Windows 11 is the latest and greatest operating system Microsoft offers. It is highly recommended to upgrade as soon as possible to if you are still stuck on one of these outdated operating systems. Windows 11 is free if you have Windows 10 and your computer hardware supports it.

However, if you are allergic to all things IT, then PC Runs will be happy to do this for you making sure that you will get all the advantages Windows 10 or Windows 11 has to offer like greater security, stability and performance.

PC Runs Services Specialty – Hard Drive and/or RAM and/or CPU Upgrade

Back to Top
There are a few computer components that can slow down your computer. One of them is a Mechanical Hard Drive. Another is your RAM Random Access Memory. And the third is your CPU the brain of your computer.

Of course, these upgrades will involve both labor and parts costs.

However, these upgrades may be less expensive than you might think. Plus, the return on investment, that means the increase in performance – the computer’s responsiveness to you, it’s increase in speed and smooth operation – will be well worth the investment.

And this may be the only solution for issues slowing your computer down.

CPU Upgrade

A CPU will be the most expensive to upgrade so for our considerations here we will rarely upgrade this component.

Your Mechanical Hard Drive and RAM are inexpensive and easily upgradable and will be considered here.

Hard Drive Upgrade

A Mechanical Hard Drive has spinning platers inside it that store your Operating System and files and documents.

Because it has moving parts it tends to break down quicker than the newer SSD Solid Stade Drive and the latest NVMe M.2 drives.

Mechanical Hard Drives in Laptops tend to break down sooner in Laptops than in Desktops. Obviously because Laptops are handled more than Desktops.

However, even in Desktops Mechanical Hard Drives end up running slow.

Therefore, if you are experiencing issues with your computer running slow and even if you are not, it is highly recommended that you change out your Mechanical Hard Drive for an SSD or (if your computer has the option) for a NVMe M.2 drive.

A Mechanical hard Drive reads and writes 40 to 50 MB per second. An SSD reads and writes 400 to 500 MBs per second. An NVMe M.2 drive reads and writes 2000 to 3000 MBs per second.

Just upgrading your Hard Drive will increase your computer performance beyond what you thought it could. It may even perform better than when it was new.

RAM Upgrade

If you can also include upgrading the RAM (also inexpensive) you will definitely have a new experience with your computer.

You will hardly believe it is the same computer. The performance enhancement will be remarkable.

Conclusion for Upgrades

Knowing that these simple inexpensive upgrades will greatly enhance your computer and online experience I at PC Runs always offer the recommendation and service to upgrade either your Hard Drive and/or your RAM.

I usually recommend upgrading the Hard Drive first being that these days it is the least expensive part to upgrade. It will also be the most noticeable in improving your computer performance.

Password Recovery

Back to Top
If you’ve forgotten the password to log into your own system, it can be hard getting in if you haven’t made a note of the password somewhere. If this is the case, John’s PC Runs services include a password recovery service that uses special software to temporarily disable the password requirement and allow the user to access their computer so they can change or turn off the password. The password recovery service costs $35.
