Guided remote support for personal computers

Computer backup and data transfer service

Before you replace, repair, reset, or trade in a computer, we help protect and move the files that matter. You remain in control, enter your own credentials, and verify the important folders before the next decision.

Step 1 of 2

Start with the basics.

We use this to review your request and contact you about next steps.

+1

Does this sound like you?

You need to protect or move important computer files before a change

You are moving to a new computer

Bring the documents, photos, videos, desktop files, downloads, and selected settings you rely on into the replacement setup.

You need a backup before repair or reset

Protect and check important folders while the current computer still starts, can be signed into, and can remain powered.

Your migration left files behind

Find the folders that did not arrive, review external-drive or cloud options, and choose a supported way to finish the move.

Defined outcomes

Know where your important files are before you move on

A clear map of what matters

Identify the folders, files, storage locations, and destination involved before changing anything on the original computer.

Guidance through the supported path

Follow an appropriate backup or transfer process while you operate the computers, storage, and accounts yourself.

A verified handoff

Check the important categories that arrived, record what needs separate setup, and receive a written next step for the original computer.

Eligibility first

Make sure the computer is ready before you pay

Good fit

Your computer starts and you can access it

The service works when you can sign in, reach the relevant files and accounts, and keep the computer powered through a supported path.

  • The computer starts, can be signed into by its owner, and remains stable enough to work with files or supported storage.
  • You can access the relevant folders, destination computer or storage, charging power, and any accounts needed for the chosen path.
  • You have permission to access the files and can stay present to enter credentials and approve important choices.

Not covered

Your computer needs recovery or repair first

We pause when a drive is failing, the computer will not start, files need recovery, malware is active, or business access needs IT support.

  • The computer will not start, a drive is failing, or files have been deleted and need recovery.
  • The request involves malware removal, security bypassing, password recovery, or a business-managed computer without IT authorization.
  • The outcome requires reinstalling licensed software, migrating every application, or guaranteeing a full cross-platform clone.

  • You stay in control

    You keep control of the computer, files, accounts, passwords, and storage throughout the session.

  • Passwords stay private

    Licensed applications, work tools, browser profiles, encrypted data, and some settings may need separate setup or provider support.

Before and after booking

A defined computer service, with clear limits

What your guided session is designed to do

The goal is to protect and move the personal files that matter through a supported path you can understand and verify.

  • Review the source computer, destination, and important categories such as documents, photos, videos, desktop files, downloads, and selected folders.
  • Guide a supported backup or transfer path while you operate the devices, storage, and accounts.
  • Review what arrived and document the folders, applications, or settings that need separate attention.

When a different specialist should come first

We make the boundary clear before payment and explain the safest next step when recovery, repair, or managed-device support is required.

  • We identify clearly ineligible cases before payment whenever possible.
  • We never add guided time or cost without your approval.
  • Some transfers may continue beyond the live session because of data size, connection speed, storage, or provider limits. We do not monitor a transfer unattended.
  • If a qualifying computer cannot continue, you receive written next steps plus free rescheduling or a refund for the unused portion.

Questions answered

Computer backup and transfer FAQs

Can you move files between a Mac and a PC?

Often, yes, for common personal files such as documents, photos, videos, and selected folders. We review the source, destination, and file categories first; we do not promise that every application, setting, or protected item will transfer across platforms.

Will my programs and software licenses move too?

Usually not as part of this service. Applications commonly need to be installed again, and licenses, subscriptions, browser profiles, work tools, or specialized software can have their own transfer rules.

Can you help with an external drive or cloud storage?

Yes, when the storage is accessible and appropriate for the supported path. We can help review what is on it, organize the next step, and guide the transfer while you remain in control.

Can you help if my computer is damaged?

Possibly, when it still starts, can be signed into, and remains stable enough to access files. Failed drives, recovery, malware, and computers that cannot start are outside this guided transfer service.
