- Check your hard drive for bad sectors or if it has a bad spin count. If the hard drive has any faults this would be a good time to consider if it's better to replace the hard drive or replace the computer.
- Check your memory. In a lot of cases your windows may get corrupted by faulty memory
- Check your motherboard for leaking capacitors. There's no point in putting money into a computer that is likely to crash down the road with a faulty motherboard
We will then backup all your data. This will include your documents, pictures, music, desktop and favorites. If you have turbo tax or quickbooks then we can backup that data as well.
If you use outlook, outlook express or windows mail for your emails there will be an extra $30 charge as we will have to take some extra steps to setup your email, keeping your contacts and emails safe in the process.
If you use microsoft office, we can also get your product key before we wipe the hard drive so that we can reinstall it after we are finished.
Once we have all your hardware checked and data backed up we will then format your hard drive, install windows and download all of your drivers for sound, video, network cards etc.
From here we will restore all of your data to the correct location on your computer and reinstall office (if you had it previously).
You are now ready to collect your computer, but there are a few things that you will have to do:-
