How it works

1

We back everything up first

Before touching anything, we back up your files, documents, browser data, and anything else you want to keep.

2

Clean Windows install

Fresh installation — no leftover junk, no pre-installed bloatware, no old driver conflicts.

3

Drivers, apps, and your data

We install all hardware drivers, set up your software, and put your files back where they belong.

4

Final verification

We test everything before you leave — Windows activated, internet working, your files accessible, apps running.

Common questions

Will I lose my files?

No — we back up your data before the reinstall and restore it after. We'll confirm what you want to keep before starting.

What if I don't have my Windows license key?

In most cases, Windows 11 will activate automatically using the digital license tied to your hardware. We'll handle this.

Will my apps be reinstalled?

We reinstall common apps and Microsoft 365 if applicable. Let us know what you use and we'll get it set up.

How long does it take?

Most reinstalls are completed the same day. Complex setups with lots of apps may take a bit longer — we'll give you an estimate upfront.

Is this different from a factory reset?

Yes. A factory reset often leaves OEM bloatware. We do a clean install from scratch, which is faster and cleaner.

Free advice — try this first

Before you book, try this

A clean OS reinstall is the nuclear option — it works, but it wipes everything. Try the gentler options first.

  1. Try "Reset this PC" with files kept — Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC → Keep my files. This reinstalls Windows but preserves your documents and photos. Fixes most software corruption without losing your data.
  2. Run System File Checker first — Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run: sfc /scannow. This repairs corrupted Windows system files in place. Takes 10-20 minutes. Sometimes it's all you needed.
  3. Back up everything if you do go full reinstall — A clean install wipes the drive. Copy Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Desktop, and your browser bookmarks before you start. Export saved passwords from your browser too — they don't move automatically.

If that doesn't fix it, that's what we're here for. The $24.99 diagnostic still applies — no fix, no charge.
