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.

$100 per hour

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.

$100 per hour

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.

$100 per hour

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.

$100 per hour

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.

$100 per hour

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.

Why hire someone to set up your computer?

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.

Frequently asked questions about computer setup

A standard setup with data transfer, software installation, and Wi-Fi/printer connection typically takes 2-3 hours. A basic setup (no data transfer, just the new computer) can take 1-2 hours. I'll give you a time estimate when you call 360-379-1319.
Yes, I work on both Windows PCs and Macs regularly. The setup process differs between them, but I'm experienced with both platforms. I can also help if you're switching from one to the other and need your files migrated.
I transfer files, photos, documents, music, email, bookmarks, and browser data. Some applications may need to be reinstalled on the new computer rather than transferred. If your old computer still works, I do a direct transfer. If it doesn't, I can often still recover files from the old hard drive.
Computer setup services are billed at $100 per hour. Most setups cost between $100 and $300 depending on complexity. I tell you the estimated time before I start, so there are no surprises. A simple setup without data transfer may be just one hour.
If something's not working right or you have questions about your new setup, you can call 360-379-1319. Many follow-up questions can be handled over the phone or through a brief remote support session at no extra charge within a reasonable time frame.
