Planning guidance is useful only when its uncertainty stays visible.

PCLift is intended to narrow an upgrade decision and show what to check next. It cannot inspect a physical PC, control changing software, or replace current manufacturer and retailer information.

What PCLift does not guarantee

How to use a plan responsibly

Keep the plan tied to a specific goal. Treat warnings and unknowns as prompts to check more details. Compare the final candidate with manufacturer documentation and independent reviews, then verify the exact item and price at the point of purchase. If your system information is incomplete, update it before treating the plan as a final decision.

Correcting a problem

Hardware catalogs and support information change. If a plan appears to match a part incorrectly or surface an inaccurate compatibility signal, do not rely on it to make a purchase. Verify the hardware directly and use the feedback options available in PCLift to report the issue.

Questions and policy documents

Does PCLift test my computer remotely?

No. PCLift uses the information you provide and stored reference data to produce planning guidance.

Should I use PCLift instead of manufacturer documentation?

No. Use the plan as a guide, then confirm support, power, BIOS, and physical-fit requirements with the relevant documentation.

Can I shop outside the listed retailer links?

Yes. Retailer links are optional. Compare offers and purchase from the seller that works for you.
