Windows install FAQs

Still have a question? Get in touch and we will help before you commit to anything.

A clean install wipes the Windows drive. We will discuss backup options before we proceed and can migrate files if the drive is healthy.

Yes, as long as your device meets the compatibility requirements. If not, we can reinstall Windows 10 or advise on your upgrade options.

Many installs can be completed same-day. If there are updates, driver issues or file migration involved it may take a little longer — we will keep you updated throughout.

Slowness after a reinstall is often caused by hardware limits, especially older spinning hard drives. An SSD upgrade is usually the single biggest performance boost.

Please bring the device and charger or power cable. If you have important files, bring any external drive you use for backups.
