New Computer Setup & Data Transfer

The part nobody enjoys: moving twenty years of files, the email that must not break, and the printer that only ever worked on the old machine.

Set Up Properly the First Time

A new PC arrives full of trial software, with settings chosen by the manufacturer rather than by you, and no connection to any of the things you already own. We strip the clutter, configure it sensibly, and connect it to the printers, the network, and the accounts you actually use.

  • Preinstalled trial software and manufacturer clutter removed
  • Windows updates applied before you start using it
  • Printers, scanners, and network drives reconnected
  • Email, browsers, and bookmarks set up the way they were

Moving Everything Across

The transfer is where these jobs go wrong when they go wrong. Documents are easy; email history, licensed software, and the one program the business depends on are the parts that need care. We move it methodically and check it against the old machine before anything gets wiped.

  • Documents, photos, and years of accumulated folders
  • Email, including local archives that live only on the old machine
  • Licensed software reinstalled and reactivated
  • The old computer wiped safely once you have confirmed it all arrived

Or Have One Built Instead

Sometimes the right machine is not on a shelf. We build custom Windows desktops for the work they will actually do — heavier memory, particular storage, a specific application's requirements — and set them up the same way. If you are replacing a machine because the old one is slow rather than dead, it is worth reading computer repair first; the cheaper fix is sometimes the right one.

What It Costs

Free Estimates, No Surprises

A straightforward setup and transfer is usually a single visit; the amount of data and the state of the old machine decide the rest.

Free estimate before any work begins, and you approve the price before we start. Repairs carry a 90-day warranty on our labor, plus whatever warranty the manufacturer provides on any parts we install. If you are already a customer and your question takes us under fifteen minutes on the phone, there is no charge for it.

A trip charge may apply for longer distances. The warranty does not cover a machine that is re-infected with malware after we clean it.

Common Questions

New Computer Questions

What people ask before replacing a machine.

I have already bought the computer. Can you still help?
Yes — most setups we do are machines the customer bought themselves. Bring it home, leave it in the box, and we will do the rest.
Can everything come across from a computer that will not start?
Usually. If the old machine is dead but its drive is intact, we pull the drive and move your files from it. That is data recovery work, and it is routine.
Do you build custom computers?
Yes. When something off the shelf does not fit the work — specific software, a lot of memory, particular storage — we will spec and build it instead.

New Computer Still in the Box?

We will set it up properly and move everything across.
