XP

First, your files are securely backed up before anything is done. Your business documents, spreadsheets and family photos are all safe.  Then using your Windows software, the hard drive is reformatted.  The operating system is then reinstalled along with the device drivers.  The next step is to download and install the service packs and security updates.  Depending on your version of XP, there may be up to 3 Service Packs, and approximately 54 or more security updates.  This entails many returns to the Windows Update website to complete this task.  Finally, your Office Suite, and antivirus will be installed.  As a courtesy, we provide vacuuming (desktops only) and exterior cleaning to all computers serviced.   Outlook setup extra.  Please see products for more information.  Do you need an updated antivirus?  See products for more information.

Note: XP will be a legacy operating system soon, and installation is very labour intensive.  HelpMePC reserves the right to charge a premium for this setup.  It’s time to consider Windows 7.  It is fast, and easier to learn than Vista and is truly a real alternative to XP.  See Windows 7 setup description for system requirements or ask us if your computer is compatible.  Coming Fall 2010.

Vista

Same as XP description, but using your system recovery partition.  The operating system is recovered, and any additional drives are reformatted.

Windows 7

Same as XP description, but using your system recovery partition.  The operating system is recovered, and any addtional drives are reformatted.
