How new computer setup works
Setup involves more than turning the computer on. We install updates, remove unnecessary pre-installed software, set up your accounts, install the programs you use, and connect your printer and other devices.
Data transfer moves your documents, photos, browser bookmarks, and other files from your old computer. We'll check that everything arrived before you retire the old machine, and can advise on wiping it safely.

Questions about new computer setup
Can you move everything from my old computer?
Personal files, photos, and bookmarks transfer well. Some older programs need to be reinstalled rather than copied.
Can you help me choose a new computer first?
Yes. We can recommend options based on what you actually use your computer for.
