Over six years ago I wrote this post about Fornoli’s computer shop run by Maurizio Canelli.

Another new gadget to go wrong?

I stated that I was very happy with the service provided by the shop.
I have continued to remain very satisfied since that time. After all, if one is a blogger a reliable computer is a must!

In the past months my computer (an Asus laptop) became painfully slow and I thought I might have to invest in a new machine with all the trouble of having to transfer settings and data from the old to the new. Maurizio, however, suggested otherwise. He proposed the following improvements to my existing laptop:

1. Updating from Windows Seven operating system to Windows Ten, especially as this September Windows Seven would no longer be supported and, therefore, no longer safe from virus attacks.
2. Replacing the existing internal disc drive with a solid state one which would make operations so much faster.
3. Having the old disc drive placed in a separate box and used as an external one, useful for backup purposes.
4. General maintenance and cleaning of the keyboard to ensure smooth response.

I took my laptop to Maurizio ‘s shop PC start last week and collected it a couple of days later.

The difference in response was startling; it seemed as if I had bought the latest machine: every operation took a fraction of the time it used to take. Moreover, Windows Ten was a very amenable OS – quite unlike some of the ghastly systems Microsoft has produced in the past. The price was astonishingly reasonable: certainly a lot less than it would have cost me to purchase a new laptop.

So I have no hesitation in recommending Maurizio Canelli’s expertise to anyone who has a computer in poor health and needs some advice on what cure to effect. Whether it’s upgrading, as in my case, or buying a new machine, Maurizio is the man.

Not forgetting, of course, that the shop also supplies all those essential items like printer cartridges, paper, speakers, routers, etc. which are part and parcel of running a computer.
