Moving your files and settings over
Whether you bought a new computer or upgraded your current one to Windows 11, the goal is the same: nothing gets left behind. We move your documents, photos, and browser bookmarks, sign you back into email and any accounts you use daily, and reconnect your printer, so the new setup feels like a continuation, not a fresh start.
Before we touch anything, we make sure your files are backed up somewhere safe, so there is no risk of losing something during the move.
What actually changed from older Windows
Windows 11 moved the Start menu to the center of the screen, redesigned the taskbar, and changed how the right-click menu works, and these small shifts are often what throws people the most, more than anything genuinely difficult. We walk through what looks different, put familiar things back where they make sense to you, and show you the new way to do the tasks you did daily on your old computer.
- Start menu and taskbar layout explained and adjusted to your liking
- Right-click menu and file explorer changes walked through
- Familiar shortcuts and habits restored where possible
Removing bloatware and unwanted extras
New computers often arrive with trial software, unwanted toolbars, and manufacturer apps you will never open, all quietly using up space and sometimes slowing the machine down. We clear this out early, before it becomes clutter you have to work around every day, and set up the essentials you actually need instead.
- Trial software and manufacturer bloatware removed
- Antivirus and updates set up correctly from the start
- Only the programs you actually use left on the desktop
