Why people book this
Home IT support should be patient, practical and jargon-free.
Verge Tech helps households with the technology that interrupts daily life: weak Wi-Fi, printers, slow laptops, email problems, virus warnings, data recovery, smart devices and new device setup. The work is explained clearly and paced properly.
Files are spread across old devices
Documents, desktop folders, photos, downloads and external drives need checking before migration.
Email and passwords are confusing
Outlook, Gmail, iCloud, Microsoft accounts and browser passwords often need careful sign-in and recovery checks.
New laptop still needs setup
Updates, antivirus, printer drivers, OneDrive/iCloud and browser defaults should be sorted before daily use.

FAQs
Questions people ask before booking.
Can you transfer everything from my old laptop?
We can usually transfer files, photos and many settings. Some apps need reinstalling, and paid software may need licence details or vendor account access.
Can you set up a MacBook from a Windows laptop?
Yes. We can transfer common files and set up email, browser, cloud storage and printers. Some Windows-only apps will not run on macOS.
Do I need to know my passwords?
You will need access to key accounts such as Microsoft, Google, Apple/iCloud and email. We can help with recovery where possible.
Can you wipe the old laptop after transfer?
Yes, once you confirm the data has moved and is backed up, we can securely reset the old device for reuse, sale or recycling.
Can this be done at home?
Yes. Home visits are ideal because we can test Wi-Fi, printer, email and cloud backup in the environment where you will use the laptop.
