Data Transfer & New-Computer Setup

A new computer shouldn't mean a weekend of frustration. We move your accessible files — photos, documents, bookmarks — from your old computer, help set up your accounts, and configure the basics so you can get back to what you were doing.

Sound familiar?

  • Just bought a new computer
  • Old computer is failing and you want your files off it
  • Not sure how to move photos and documents
  • Need help setting up email or a browser

What’s included

  • Transfer of accessible files
  • Help with supported account setup
  • Browser and bookmark migration where possible
  • Basic configuration of the new computer

Not included

Quoted separately, with your approval

  • Recovery from damaged or failing drives
  • Encrypted or inaccessible data
  • Software licenses that can't be transferred

Good to know

  • Cloud files, email accounts, large collections and some programs may need extra steps. We'll let you know up front if anything needs a separate quote.
  • Have your account details handy for the appointment — but never send passwords through the website.

Questions about this service

What if my old computer doesn't turn on?

Mention it in your request. Files can often still be reached, but a failing drive may need a separate assessment.

Can you move my programs too?

Programs usually need to be reinstalled on the new computer rather than copied. We'll help where licenses allow.
