Family computers and shared laptops
In a busy household one laptop often does everything: homework, online banking, photos and shopping. When it slows down or picks up pop-ups, everyone notices. I can clean it up, speed it up and set up separate accounts and parental controls, so children can use it safely without changing everyone else’s settings.
When a laptop is passed down to a child or sold, I can wipe it securely first so your personal data goes nowhere. See secure data disposal.
Help for less confident users
Some customers in Anlaby and Willerby just want someone patient to sort out their email, printer or tablet and show them how it works. That might be a short home visit, a remote session or a one-to-one lesson. The pages for Anlaby and Kirk Ella cover Mac repairs in more detail.
