What a Typical Crowthorne Job Looks Like

In Crowthorne I see student laptops during Wellington College term time, family computers near the High Street, and home-office desktops off Dukes Ride — often with precious photos sitting on one ageing drive and no second copy.

Setting up a new device

A proper setup is mostly the steps people skip: I create the Windows account properly, run every pending update, strip out the trial software nobody wants and reconnect the printer. Then I move your files, photos and bookmarks across from the old machine, checking the transfer before I leave. Backup worries come up often here, so the first automatic backup is configured before I leave. A basic PC or laptop setup sits in the £50–£75 band on my pricing page, and phone and remote diagnosis is free until I tell you what is wrong and what it will cost.

Cleaning up after a scam — computers, phones and tablets

Whether it's a scam pop-up or a genuine infection, the approach is the same: I sweep for malware, remove the pop-ups and any remote-access tool the callers left behind, reset browser and account security, set up honest antivirus, and talk you through what the next attempt will look like, so you can hang up with confidence. Phones and tablets get the same care on the software side — scam apps, rogue profiles and adware removed, accounts locked down with proper passwords and two-factor — though I don't repair phone screens or other hardware; this is the security side only. Scheduled cleanups like these run at £25 per 15 minutes, first hour capped at £75 on weekdays, after that £25 per 15 minutes with no cap.
