New Computer and PC Setup Service

There's nothing quite like the feeling of unboxing a brand new computer. 

But the excitement can quickly fade when you're faced with a tangle of cables, endless updates, and the complex task of transferring all your precious files. 

At Datchet Computer Man, we offer a professional setup service designed to take all the hassle off your hands. 

We'll get your new PC or laptop perfectly configured, optimised, and ready to use, so you can skip the stress and get straight to enjoying your new purchase.

Start Using Your New PC The Right Way, From Day One

A professional setup does more than just switch the computer on. 

It ensures your new device is secure, efficient, and personalised to you from the very beginning.

• A Seamless Transition: We'll carefully transfer your documents, photos, music, emails, and browser bookmarks from your old computer to your new one.

• No More "Bloatware": New PCs come pre-loaded with unnecessary trial software that slows them down. We'll meticulously remove all of it, freeing up resources for a faster experience.

• Maximum Security: We perform all critical system and security updates, and we'll install and configure your chosen antivirus software to protect you from online threats immediately.

• Ready to Go: We connect your new computer to your Wi-Fi network, printer, webcam, and any other devices, so everything works together perfectly.
