New Computer Not Working + Setup Problems Sydney: Get Started Fast
Service: Computer Setup
New computers should work straight away but setup problems waste hours. Files will not transfer. Email will not connect. Printers stay offline. Software needs installing. Computer setup solves these headaches and gets you working quickly without frustration.
Common setup problems
- Windows takes hours downloading updates before you can work
- Cannot find files from old computer
- Email account will not connect or sync properly
- Printer shows offline or will not install
- Do not know which programs to install first
- Old computer still needed but running slow
Why setup takes so long
New computers need dozens of Windows updates before working properly. File transfer from old systems requires cables or network setup. Email configuration needs server settings most people do not know. Software installation demands license keys often lost or forgotten. Printer drivers vary by model and connection method. Each step has potential problems that multiply time needed.
Quick checks before calling
Let Windows finish all updates even if it takes hours. Connect both computers to same Wi-Fi network for file transfer. Find email password and try webmail first to verify it works. Turn printer on and check Wi-Fi connection on printer screen. Write down what software you use daily. Locate any software license keys or subscription details you have.
