Need Help Setting Up a New Computer?

A good setup is more than clicking through the first screens. We help make clear account choices and leave the computer ready for everyday use.

Try these first

Safe checks you can do now

  1. Keep the old computer available and charged.
  2. Gather usernames, but never email passwords.
  3. Connect the new computer to power and Wi-Fi.
  4. Locate your backup drive.
  5. Do not erase or trade in the old computer yet.
Pause if something feels wrong.

Do not call a number in a pop-up, share a verification code, or install unfamiliar remote-access software.
