Services

Software help. Not a repair shop.

Fixed, set up, restored and explained, without the jargon. I work on Windows and Mac computers, iPhones and iPads, and Android phones and tablets. I do not replace screens, batteries, or boards. If the problem is hardware, I will figure out what is wrong and point you to a reputable local repair shop.

PC & laptop help

Windows trouble? I’ll fix it over a remote session or at your kitchen table, whichever works better for you. I don’t do parts or screen repairs, but I’ll figure out what’s wrong and point you to a reputable local shop.

  • Tune-ups, startup cleanup, and machines that take ten minutes to boot
  • Malware and pop-up removal, then a setup that stays cleaner
  • Windows that will not start, update loops, and profile issues
  • New PC setup: accounts, files, printers, the way you already work

iPhone, iPad & Android setup

I move photos, accounts, and apps, restore from backups, and walk through the settings that actually matter. iPhone, iPad and Android phone and tablet setup. Software and setup — not cracked screens or batteries.

  • Data transfer when you upgrade
  • Email, iCloud / Google, and the apps you rely on
  • Firmware restore when a phone will not boot cleanly
  • A calm walkthrough so you leave knowing how to use it

Mac restore & setup

Macs that will not boot, migrations onto a new machine, and full restores. If it takes me extra time to get it right, that time is on me. You get a working Mac with your files where you expect them, and a quick walk-through of anything that changed.

  • macOS Recovery and Internet Recovery
  • DFU / Apple Silicon revive when the Mac is bricked
  • Migration Assistant and clean setups
  • iCloud, Time Machine, and the usual Apple account knots

Tech concierge

This is the work people put off for months. I come over, unpack the mess, and leave you with a living room, cottage, or home office that actually works — streaming, printers, tablets, the lot.

  • Smart TVs, streaming sticks, and soundbars
  • Printers, tablets, and “it worked yesterday” devices
  • Setup for parents or a seasonal place
  • Plain-English walkthrough before I leave

Home Wi-Fi & networks

Slow or spotty Wi-Fi? I’ll set up your new router, add mesh where it actually helps, and make sure your network holds up when everyone’s streaming at once. No structured cabling, no attic crawls — software, configuration, and the gear you already have or should buy.

  • Router setup and mesh that covers the house
  • Guest networks and simpler passwords that still work
  • Printers and TVs that will not join the Wi-Fi
  • A plan for seasonal / cottage internet

Backup & recovery

I’ll set up backups that run on their own, so you never have to think about them. If your computer won’t start, I can often still rescue your files. For a badly damaged drive, I’ll point you to a specialist recovery lab.

  • Time Machine, OneDrive, Google, and local drives
  • A backup habit that is boring on purpose
  • Pulling files off a computer that will not start
  • What to keep in the cloud vs. in the house
