4x storage capacity with complete data migration
Ryan's Surface Laptop 4 constantly ran out of space for video editing projects. We upgraded from 256GB to 1TB SSD with complete Windows and data migration, quadrupling his storage for RM 749 - much cheaper than buying a new Surface Laptop.

"Best decision ever! I was going to spend RM 5,599 on a new Surface Laptop just for more storage. Kevin at Techfix suggested upgrading my current one to 1TB for under RM 800. The upgrade took one day and when I got it back, everything was exactly as I left it - Windows, all my Adobe apps with all my settings, all my plugins, current projects, everything. And it's actually FASTER now with the Samsung SSD! I can keep multiple 4K projects on the laptop simultaneously. My editing workflow is so much smoother. Saved me almost RM 5,000 and I get to keep my perfectly configured laptop. Absolute game-changer for my video work!"
