“It takes ten minutes to start”
Usually start-up clutter or an ageing hard drive. A clean-up or a solid-state drive transforms most machines under eight years old.
Computer repair in Milton Keynes

What is fixed here
The software side, done properly
- Slow computer: find what is eating the machine (start-up clutter, a failing drive, too little memory, malware) and fix or advise, with the cost of each option before it is done
- Virus and malware removal: clean the machine, close the hole it came in through, check the accounts that may have been touched, and set up protection that is actually maintained
- Windows reinstall: a clean install with your files, email, printers and programs put back, and the activation sorted
- New PC setup and data transfer: files, email, browser, passwords and settings carried across, and the old machine wiped securely
- Password and account recovery: Microsoft, Google and email accounts locked out or taken over
- Everyday faults: updates that fail, programs that crash, printers that vanish, Wi-Fi that drops

Typical repair jobs
“A warning says I’ve been hacked”
Most are scam pop-ups, some are real. Either way: do not call the number on the screen. Call Harrison, and the machine and your accounts get checked properly.
“It won’t update, or won’t start”
Repaired in place where possible; a clean reinstall with everything put back when it is not.
What is not done here
Physical repairs
Cracked screens, batteries, keyboards, charging ports and motherboards are referred to a local repair shop. WITS will tell you whether the machine is worth repairing first, and can move your data to a replacement if it is not.

Questions
Answers before you get in touch
How long does a virus removal take?
Usually one to two hours remotely. If the machine needs a full reinstall, about half a day, quoted first.
Can you make an old laptop fast again?
Often, yes. A solid-state drive and a clean-up transform most machines under eight years old. If it is not worth it, you will be told.
Do I lose my files in a reinstall?
No. Files are backed up first and checked afterwards. If the drive itself is failing, see data recovery.
Do you come to my home in Milton Keynes?
Yes, by arrangement, when a visit is suitable. Remote is quicker for most software problems.
Do you fix broken screens?
No. Cracked screens, batteries, keyboards and charging ports are physical repairs, referred to a local repair shop. WITS does the software side and the data.
