Software Installation

Getting new software installed correctly is more than copying files onto a machine. We install and configure operating systems, applications, drivers and supporting software properly — licensed, up to date, configured for how you actually work, and tested before we hand it back.

Problems this solves

If any of these sound familiar, this is likely the service you need.

  • A new computer arrives with no operating system, or with unwanted pre-installed software
  • Software purchased online needs to be downloaded, installed and licensed
  • Drivers are missing, so hardware such as printers, scanners or graphics cards will not work
  • A fresh machine needs to be prepared for work before it is useful
  • Software installed incorrectly and will not run or keeps failing to update
  • A business application needs to connect to a server, network or email
  • Antivirus or security software is blocking legitimate applications

What's included

The scope of the work, agreed before we start.

  • Operating system installation and initial configuration
  • Application installation, licensing and activation
  • Essential driver installation for printers, scanners and other hardware
  • Removal of bundled trial software and bloatware
  • Operating system, browser and application updates applied
  • Configuration of user accounts, security and preferences
  • Email, network and printer setup where required
  • Testing to confirm everything launches and works as expected

How we work

Our service process

The same six steps follow every job, whatever the service, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

  1. Understand

    We start by understanding the situation, the equipment involved and what is actually needed.

  2. Assess

    We examine the system to identify the cause rather than guessing at the symptom.

  3. Recommend

    We explain the options and recommend an approach that fits the requirement and the budget.

  4. Implement

    The agreed work is carried out carefully, with backups taken before anything is changed.

  5. Test

    We verify the result against the original requirement before calling the job done.

  6. Support

    We explain what was done, how to maintain it, and remain available if anything needs attention.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply the software licence?
It depends on the product. We will tell you what needs to be purchased and where, and we can handle the purchase, installation and activation for you. Licensing terms are set by the software vendor, not by us.
Can you set up a brand new computer?
Yes. New machine setup is one of our core services: operating system, drivers, updates, your software, security, and configuration so it is ready to use.
Will my existing files be preserved?
Yes, where the work allows it. If a full reinstallation would overwrite data, we will say so in advance and make sure everything is backed up or transferred first.
How long does an installation take?
It depends on what is being installed. A straightforward application setup is quick; a full operating system installation with all software and configuration takes considerably longer. We will confirm a timescale with you.
Can you install software from a USB stick or download?
Yes. We can install from a supplier USB, a download, or a disc. We will also check the licence requirements before installing.
