New Computer Setup Services
Whether you just bought a new PC, a Mac, or you need help setting up a network in your home or office, I handle the technical parts so you can just use your computer.
New PC or Mac setup
I unbox, configure, and set up your new computer from start to finish. I handle the out-of-box experience, create your user accounts, install updates, remove bloatware, and set up security software. By the time I leave, your computer is ready to do what you bought it for.
Data transfer from old computer
I move your files, photos, documents, bookmarks, and email from your old computer to your new one. I make sure nothing important gets left behind. If your old computer still works, I transfer everything directly. If it doesn't, I recover what I can from the old drive.
Software installation
I install and activate any software you need — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, antivirus, creative tools, accounting software, or anything else. I also set up email on your computer (Outlook, Apple Mail, or webmail) so you don't have to figure out the settings yourself.
Wi-Fi & network setup
New router or mesh system? Need to extend your Wi-Fi to that back room? I set up your network hardware, configure it for security and performance, and connect all your devices. I also troubleshoot dead spots and slow connections so your whole home or office is covered.
Printer & peripheral setup
If you've ever tried to set up a printer yourself, you know it can be a headache. I connect your printer, scanner, external drives, monitors, or any other devices to your computer and make sure everything works together.
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace setup
I set up email accounts, configure your calendar and contacts, install Office apps, set up OneDrive or Google Drive for backups, and make sure everything syncs properly across your devices. If you're switching from one platform to the other, I handle the migration.

Save hours of frustration
Setting up a new computer can take a full afternoon between updates, transfers, settings, and logins. I do it regularly and can have you up and running in a fraction of the time. You spend that time actually using your new computer instead of wrestling with it.
Don't lose your files
It's easy to miss important files during a manual transfer. I systematically move everything — documents, photos, music, email, bookmarks, application data — so nothing gets left behind on your old computer.
Set up properly from day one
I configure your new computer with security best practices, proper backups, and sensible settings from the start. You avoid the common pitfalls like weak passwords, unsecured networks, and missing backup configurations that cause problems later.
One call handles everything
Wi-Fi, printer, email, software, file transfer — instead of calling five different support lines, you call me once and I take care of it all. I even show you around your new computer so you know where everything is.
