Windows and security
Windows 10 stopped receiving free security updates in October 2025, and older Vaios like the Vaio VGN-FS115MR don't meet Windows 11's official requirements. For offline use, a clean reinstall and SSD keep it useful; for banking and email we'll talk you through safer options.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VGN-FS115MR. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Keyboard, hinges and casing
Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio VGN-FS115MR of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VGN-FS115MR are no longer made. We use quality compatible or reclaimed parts, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it before you spend anything.
