Suitable for

This service is ideal if you have bought a new Windows PC and want it set up properly without having to work through all the initial configuration yourself.

What you’ll need

Please have the following available where applicable:

• Your new Windows PC and its power supply
• Access to your Wi-Fi network
• Access to your Microsoft account
• Access to any email or online accounts you want configured
• Your phone or other authentication device if multi-factor authentication is enabled
• Existing software licences or subscription details for applications you want installed

Customer availability

For security and authentication, you may need to be available during the work to enter passwords, approve sign-in requests or complete multi-factor authentication when required.

For your security, I won’t normally ask you to give me your passwords. Where login details are needed, you’ll enter them yourself.

• Large-scale transfer of files from an old computer
• Migrating complete email archives
• Recovering files from a faulty or damaged computer
• Purchasing software, licences or subscriptions
• Setting up a new Microsoft 365 business tenant
• Advanced business network configuration
• Specialist software installation or configuration
• Repairing unrelated hardware or software faults on an old computer
• Setting up multiple computers

If additional work is required, I’ll explain what’s involved and agree any additional cost with you before continuing.
