Install a program and configure software
Once the compatibility of the two has been confirmed, the software will be installed on your computer and its settings configured for optimal performance and ease of use. We’ll make sure the software is installed properly so that you have no problems down the line. The initial setup is often the most important step!
Perform necessary software updates
Often software that has been bought and installed out of a box will be out of date because of the fact that developers regularly release updates for the software they sell.
An out of the box package that’s been on the shelf for some time won’t have these updates included. Our computer support includes downloading and installing all of them for you so that you’re up to date.
Create desktop, start menu and quick launch shortcuts
Finally, shortcuts (which are the icons that you use to start a program) will be created on the desktop, in the start menu (for Windows) and in the quick launch menu. This makes them much easier to find so you always know where to click when looking for an application or program.
