Computer Repairs
Occasionally a computer undergoes
a catastrophic event like the house
being struck by lightning or a power
surge or a power failure. This can
affect the components of the
computer. While we rarely replace
the components on a computer
board, we can determine if the parts
have failed and order new parts and
have your computer fixed in a few
days or two.
Update to Windows 10
For the next 6 months, Windows 10
will be free to install as long as you
have windows 7, 8 or 8.1 installed.
With slower computers, I also
recommend upgrading to a new
SSD drive.
I will backup your computer, install
Windows 10 on the new drive,
reinstall Internet security, and your
special programs like Microsoft
office. I will setup outlook and
Itunes and even resync your music
players to the Itunes system. All for
less than half the price of a new
computer. Expect to get at least 2
more years of service from that
computer.
Health Checks
I can teach you how to perform your
own health checks and backups.
Health check programs that I use
included CCleaner, Malwarebytes,
Hitman Pro, Adaware and Norton’s
Internet Security. I perform two
types of backups including data and
image backups using Acronis and
data backups using Clickfree.
Software Installation
Windows 10 has made it much
easier to install software again. But
if you have any concerns, then give
me a call. I have experience with
Microsoft Office, Quickbooks,
Quickens, Windows 7, 8.1, and
Windows 10. When in doubt, call
me
Custom Builds
I build all my own computers, but I
rarely build a computer for a client.
What I do is recommend a
computer computer from a major
company like Dell Business or
Lenovo Business. Even for your
home computer, a business plan
purchased computer has much
better support if something goes
wrong.

Like a car needs an inspection yearly, so does your computer. A
computer health check includes the inside and outside of the
computer. Dust builds up on the inside and must be removed or the
computer can overhead. We can test that your hard drive is working
correctly and that you have no viruses or spyware. Virus and
spyware can be checked through remote access but the dust buildup
needs to be done on-site or the computer needs to be brought to the
shop
Data Recovery & Backup
Detaching your failing hard drive
and attaching it as a slave to my
computer, I can often recover all of
part of your data.
If that fails then you need to contact
a specialists in data recover and
that might be very costly. The best
protection against computer hard
drive failure is to backup your data
on a schedule. I backup the data
on my computer in two ways daily:
one to dropbox and one using the
C2 Clickfree Data backup drive
