New computer setup

New computer still in the box? We'll set it up and move everything across.

  • Losing photos
  • Not remembering passwords for email
  • Getting the printer and Wi-Fi
  • Finding and reinstalling the programs

We set up your new computer and move your photos, documents, email, bookmarks and saved passwords from the old one, so it feels like yours from day one. We connect your printer and Wi-Fi, install the programs you use, and can wipe the old computer safely afterwards.

How we fix it

How we set it up

  1. Check the old computer

    We note what's on it that matters to you: photos, documents, email, programs and accounts.

  2. Set up the new one

    Updates, your user account, security settings and the programs you use.

  3. Move your things across

    Photos, documents, email, browser bookmarks and saved passwords, checked once they've moved.

  4. Connect everything

    Wi-Fi, printer, phone and cloud storage, such as OneDrive or iCloud.

  5. Show you around

    A walk-through of anything that looks or works differently, at your pace.

  6. Deal with the old computer, if you'd like

    Wiped properly so it's safe to sell, give away or recycle.
