You want your computer ready for everyday use

You have a new or replacement computer

Set up the accounts, updates, security, browser, email, essential software, and preferences that make the computer useful from the first day.

A computer is ready but not set up for you

Work through one clear setup problem, such as an account, email, a browser, an essential application, a confusing prompt, or a missed setting.

You want the computer to feel more comfortable to use

Adjust display scaling, text, accessibility, privacy, notifications, startup behavior, and the everyday tools you rely on.

Defined outcomes

Leave with the essential computer settings understood and checked

A secure, up-to-date start

Review sign-in, recovery, critical updates, built-in security, device finding where supported, and automatic-backup settings.

A computer set up for daily use

Connect Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, browser, email, selected software, privacy settings, notifications, and display or accessibility preferences.

A clear handoff

Verify the important functions, explain basic file locations and key settings, and receive a written completion summary.

Eligibility first

Make sure the computer is ready before you pay

Good fit

The computer starts and you can access it

This service works when the computer can reach normal setup or the desktop, connect to the internet, and you can access the accounts you need.

  • The computer starts, reaches normal setup or the desktop, and can be signed into by its owner.
  • You can access the required accounts, Wi-Fi information, and any existing setup details needed for the chosen path.
  • You can participate during the session and use a second communication device if the computer cannot be used for the call.

Not covered

The computer needs transfer, repair, recovery, or IT support first

We pause when files must move, hardware or the operating system has failed, malware is involved, or a managed device needs authorized IT support.

  • The computer needs data migration, a full backup, password recovery, security bypass, or a business account issue resolved first.
  • The computer will not start, needs hardware or operating-system repair, has malware, or is employer-managed without authorization.
  • The request includes printer setup, home-network work, server configuration, advanced business software, or unlimited technical support.

Before and after booking

A defined setup service, with clear limits

What your guided computer setup is designed to do

The goal is a computer that is securely accessible, connected, personalized, and ready for the everyday work and life you need it for.

  • Review access, updates, built-in security, device finding where supported, automatic-backup settings, and core privacy choices.
  • Connect Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, email, browser, and selected apps, then personalize display, accessibility, notifications, power, and startup preferences.
  • Verify the important daily-use functions, explain basic file locations, and provide a written setup summary.

When another service should come first

We explain the boundary before payment whenever possible and route data movement, cleanup, repair, recovery, or business IT work to the correct next step.

  • We identify transfer, repair, account-access, malware, and managed-device blockers before payment whenever possible.
  • We never add guided time or cost without your approval.
  • If a provider-controlled delay stops the session, we document the issue and reschedule remaining eligible time without charging for the delay.

Questions answered

Guided computer setup FAQs

Can you set up a Windows computer or Mac?

Yes. The launch service supports eligible personal Windows computers and Macs using their standard account, security, communication, privacy, and accessibility settings.

Is this remote computer setup help or computer repair?

This service is guided remote setup for an eligible personal computer. We help configure a new, replacement, reset, or ready-to-personalize computer while you operate it. Hardware repair, malware removal, operating-system recovery, printer and network work, business IT, and data migration are outside this service.

What should I have ready for the session?

Have the computer powered, connected to the internet, and available to its owner, plus access to the accounts and essential software you plan to use. You enter passwords, PINs, and verification codes yourself; please do not send them to us.

Can you transfer files from my old computer?

Data movement, backups, restores, and migrations belong to Backup & Transfer. We can configure the new computer after the transfer is complete.

Can you install all of my software?

The full setup includes up to five essential applications. Specialized business software, complex email archives, licensed applications with unusual requirements, and open-ended app support are outside the defined service.

Can you help with a refurbished computer?

Possibly. Tell us in the request so we can review readiness first. We cannot resolve a previous owner account, unauthorized management, hardware defects, or unsupported system issues.
