Purchasing a new PC is sometimes expensive, and not always necessary.

Deciding to take inventory of unwanted programs and do a clean install of Windows is a great way to start your New Year with a boost! If your computer is at least 3 years or older and Windows is taking longer and longer to boot up it may be a good time for a fresh install. After time your computer builds up a backlog of debris from software, ads and other unwanted programs and often it’s easier to just start fresh.

But before you do make sure you refer to our Quick checklist before your fresh Windows install. Checklist examples include:

•Listing all items that you are leaving with us (For example: black leather laptop bag, Office 2007 CD, backup hard drive & power adapter).

•The computer administrator account and password available at the time of the visit.

•We recommend you make a copy of all of your important information on the computer (like financial information, photos). We offer this service as an add-on: data back-up service a $25 flat-rate fee will apply for the following: Operating system replace and/or reinstall data backup if you choose to back up your documents to CD/DVD/other media.
