HP EliteDesk 8 G1i repairs and upgrades
Power supply repair
We test and replace failed power supplies. Many branded desktops use a manufacturer-specific unit, which we match to the exact chassis.
Memory upgrade
The HP EliteDesk 8 G1i uses standard desktop memory. We check the board’s limits and fit matched modules.
Windows repair and reinstall
The HP EliteDesk 8 G1i shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
SSD and storage upgrade
The HP EliteDesk 8 G1i has room for SATA drives and, on most boards, an M.2 SSD. The usual upgrade is an SSD for Windows and programs with the old drive kept for storage.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the HP EliteDesk 8 G1i, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
What we see on the bench
- EliteDesk and ProDesk machines come as Tower, Small Form Factor and Mini, each with its own HP-specific power supply.
- The Mini models use an external power brick and laptop-style memory; a dead Mini is often just a failed adapter.
Data recovery from the HP EliteDesk 8 G1i
Desktop drives are removed and imaged on our own equipment. If the HP EliteDesk 8 G1i has more than one drive, or a RAID array, bring the whole machine so we can see how it was set up.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the HP EliteDesk 8 G1i be upgraded?
Drives can be added or replaced. Memory uses standard slots and can be increased.
My HP EliteDesk 8 G1i will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Is my HP EliteDesk 8 G1i still under warranty?
It may be. Machines from 2025 are often still inside the manufacturer's warranty, which covers faults but not accidental damage such as a cracked screen or a spill. Check that first; we repair what the warranty does not cover.
Where do I find the model number on my desktop PC?
The model is on a label on the back, side or underside of the machine. For this model, look for G1i.
