Computer Setup FAQs — Brighton
How much does computer setup cost in Brighton?
New PC or laptop setup from £70–£100. Data transfer from old to new device £70–£120 depending on amount of data. Slow computer tune-up £70–£90. Virus removal £70–£100. Written quote before starting — no surprises.
Do you come to my home in Brighton or do I need to bring the computer to you?
We come to you. We visit your home across all Brighton and Hove postcodes (BN1, BN2, BN3, BN41 and surrounding areas). On-site visits mean we can set everything up in context — connected to your WiFi, your printer, your screens — and make sure it all works before we leave.
Can you transfer everything from my old computer to a new one?
Yes. We migrate files, photos, documents, browser bookmarks and (where possible) email data and settings. Microsoft 365 and Google accounts are signed in on the new device. We check everything is present before wiping or retiring the old machine.
My computer is very slow — is it worth fixing?
Often yes. Slow computers are usually caused by malware, too many startup programmes, a full hard drive, or outdated hardware (especially an old spinning hard drive, which an SSD upgrade fixes dramatically for £60–£80 in parts). We offer a no-fix, no-fee diagnostic to assess it honestly first.
Do you help older people set up computers in Brighton?
Absolutely — this is one of our most common requests. We're patient, we use plain English, and we go at your pace. We'll set things up exactly how you want them, show you how to use them, and write down anything you might want to refer back to later.
